Once Upon a Tandem - Jay Payleitner
In this wonderful short story, you’ll take a journey through more than two dozen life-changing biblical principles that illustrate why the only way to ride is with Jesus as your guide!"
—Josh D. McDowell, Author/Speaker
A great new look at a very old concept, told by a guy whose surrendered life is a testimony to God’s grace.
—Sandy Rios, President of Concerned Women for America
This powerful little parable is all about the sheer, exhilarating joy of taking your hands off the handlebars and lifting your feet high off the pedals—to enjoy the ride of your life!
—Wayne Shepherd, Host of Open Line, Moody Broadcasting
