The relationship between a father and daughter is profound. Jay and Rae Anne Payleitner share their own insights into this sometimes complicated but ultimately fulfilling relationship. Rooted in Scripture and full of stories, this book will deepen dads’ and daughters’ appreciation for one another.


Dads, your daughters need you.

If you’re like most dads, you’d do anything for your daughter, but sometimes it would be easier to help her if you could just get inside her head.

GirlDad is the solution to your problem. Not only is it filled with insights from the bestselling author Jay Payleitner, but his young adult daughter, Rae Anne, lends her voice to help you see things from your daughter’s perspective.

A proactive and prepared father can make all the difference in his daughter’s life. GirlDad helps a man see the princess in her as well as the sinner, the friend, the challenger, and the stranger, helping him walk alongside her on the journey to womanhood.

Your little girl—no matter how old she is—needs you in her world. And you need to know when to rescue her, when to let her go—and when to surrender it all to God.
