I Used to Have Answers...Now I have Kids

 
IHA-Medium.gif

From the early daze of parenthood through the mischief of toddlerhood on into those white knuckles of the teenage years, these stories of laughter and hope remind us that even at the worst of times, the best is coming. When we listen to our children and remember the child we used to be, we are never short on laughter. And when we hold fast to God's grace, and follow these biblical principals for raising great kids, we will never be short on hope. This book contains 43 award-winning short stories, many from Phil's first two books (Honey, I Dunked the Kids and Daddy, I Blew Up the Shed) all updated in a new volume complete with all the original John McPherson cartoons. "I think readers will be interested to know," says Phil, "that these stories were written by a young self-deprecating dad who didn't have the answers, so he sought them from God. Because of His grace and mercy, the children in these books are now relatively responsible grown-ups with a deep love for God. If you're a parent, I think you'll find some answers here too."

"Put this on your must-read list," says Kathy Peel of Family Circle. "You'll love Phil's contagious humor and down-to-earth wisdom."

Family Squeeze

The reviews are in...readers are loving Phil's stories of hope amid raising teens and caring for his parents in the valley of Alzheimer's. Writes Jack Ashby, "I just finished your latest book and I'll be OK until your next one comes out! Thanks for your humor, insight, and ability to make us laugh one minute and shed tears the next." Reviewers call it "hilarious!" and "hopeful." Family Squeeze celebrates the middle years of balancing family, work, money, and TV dinners. This guide to "middle-aging" with grace and humor will brighten your pathway and provide fresh insights for bringing joy to life. "These years have been a little wild," admits Phil. "As soon as our children turned into teenagers we invited my aging parents to join us in a suite we built. Some thought I should be committed! It was a little wild, but we laughed a lot and learned a little too." Have you ever wondered...

How do we honor our aging parents without guilt while raising our children without regret?

How do we retain our sanity in the midst of so much change (assuming we were sane in the first place)?

Is it possible to live without the stress, remorse, and anxiety that so many lug around with them?

And who said I’m having a midlife crisis? I’ve wanted a red convertible since third grade."

Whatever your season of life, you'll find yourself laughing and loading up on hope as you read Family Squeeze.

Tricks My Dog Taught Me

 
TMDT-Weblarge.gif

You can learn 100 things from a dog. Some of them good...

"For two decades Phil has made us think, smile, and thank God. This new book is a welcome event." -Max Lucado

From Phil: Some snicker at the thought of a dog teaching us anything worthwhile. One confessed, “My dog barks at everything, but did nothing when a burglar showed up. I think he helped him carry stuff out. What can I learn from that? Kindness?”  

Many of a dog's characteristics should not be emulated. Dogs are incorrigible liars. “Let me outside!” they beg with a grin. “I won’t touch the garbage!” But they do touch the garbage. “Take me with you!” they say with their tails. “I won’t be a problem!” But they will be a problem.

Yet, as I observed what happened when we allowed a 9-pound hound to weasel its way into our home and hearts, I realized I was being apprenticed in ways I never imagined. This is a humbling story to tell. After all, it's hard to admit that a Maltese shih tsu saved your marriage, taught you how to age, replaced your psychiatrist and pointed you to God. I hope you'll laugh and learn as I have about companionship, forgiveness, and an other-centered life. I hope you'll learn how to turn around three times and lie down at the feet of your master.

To Be Perfectly Honest

 
TBPHLarge.jpg

From Phil: Writing this book has changed the way I view truth and the way I live life. Never has a project gotten so completely under my skin. You'll have to read it to find out why.] 

[From the back cover:] Veteran author and speaker Phil Callaway is no stranger to daunting challenges. He has been laughed at—repeatedly—by large crowds of people, from Halifax to Hong Kong. He fathered three children in three years, spent much of last year on airplanes built by the lowest bidder, and flipped an out-of-control ATV, which doesn’t mean he sold it for a profit. So who better than Phil to boldly accept a challenge that would make your average person run and hide?

What happened was that Phil promised to tell the truth for an entire year, and he wasn’t joking. Twelve months later, his journal was crammed with success, near-success, and outright failure. During his year-long experiment with veracity, he made a disastrous financial investment, fielded hundreds of intrusive questions from friends and strangers, attended a thirty-year class reunion, and waded into some of the most revealing—and hilarious—situations ever documented.

Find out what happens when a follower of Jesus does his level best to always tell the truth. There is no doubt you’ll be entertained. But don’t be surprised if you are left with a question: how might your life be changed if you sold out to the truth—with no exceptions?

With God on the Golf Course

 
coverWithGodonGolf-Large.jpg

Golf may be a game where you yell 'fore,' shoot six, and write down five...

...but Phil believes it's also a time for laughter, friendship, accountability, and so much more. In these 32 short devotional readings, this longtime golfer (with a name like Callaway it's no surprise!) brings spiritual insight, generous humor, and the perfect stroke. "This isn't a book about the mechanics of golf," writes Phil. "This is a book about life. Golf is a useful game, teaching us more about life and faith than we think...if only we will listen."

[Need copies for your golf tournament? Or birthday gifts? Save up to 50% on a quantity]

Says Ken Davis, best-selling author and speaker: "Playing golf with Phil Callaway is almost as much fun as reading this book. I laughed. I almost cried. I even forgot about my score. And when I least expected it, I learned something. If you're anything like me, you'll want to keep several copies of this book in your golf bag for inspiration. Or to give out to people when you forget to yell 'Fore!'"

Wonders Never Cease

 
WNC-Medium.gif

So discovers Terry Anderson in the summer of his eighteenth year. As a high school senior, he's not looking for grace. In fact, he's looking to get out of Grace. His hometown, that is. But when he discovers a dark secret and keeps mum about it, his plans head south, for secrets don't keep well in the sleepy village of Grace where citizens mind their own business but think everyone else's is worth discussing. Soon Terry finds his world turned upside down and shaken hard. His family is under suspicion, his best friend (the atheist) is loping toward God as fast as Terry is backpedaling from Him, and the father of the girl he loves thinks Terry is the devil's too. Prying open the past exposes things long buried, and Terry sees his every belief tested and his every answer questioned. Finding the truth will take a heap of courage. Finding his faith again will take a miracle.

“Few guys make me laugh like Phil Callaway. But he also leaves me filled with hope. We all need his attitude. We all need this book.” –Kevin Leman, author The Birth Order Book

Phil Callaway believes in making laughter a part of the everyday experience. With humorous and heartwarming stories, Phil addresses some of the issues that steal away the joy from our lives, our friendships and our families. As readers learn to lighten their loads, they are encouraged to replace fear with faith, worry with prayer, and prunes with ice cream!

These stories are paired with award-winning photographer Kevin Rivoli’s candid, life-engaging photos. This book makes a refreshing gift and a sure way to pack a laugh with wherever you go.

Perfect Gift For A Child Or Grandchild!

"I can't tell you how happy I am to have found the perfect gift for my 20 great-grandchildren! I'm ordering 20." Vancouver, BC

"A BIG thank you for this book! I bought it for my 3-year-old granddaughter, Audrey. Her parents are going through a divorce and life is a little confusing right now for her. The "rubby dubby" song was a huge hit, with lots of laughter and dancing and jumping and clapping. We all got involved, including Brisky Bear and Trooper Dog. It put lots of smiles back on all of our faces." LR

When Brisky Bear goes upriver, his best friend is sad, mad, and lonely - until he finds three clues that just might put a smile back on his face. Your child or grandchild will laugh and learn along with these cute, cuddly, and captivating creatures how to find joy even when you have to say goodbye. With beautiful illustrations by Sharon Dahl (Phil's Jake series), this book includes a drama CD with songs from the story! "I had so much fun writing this little book," says Phil. "The company that created and markets it will be sending copies to tens of thousands of military families to help children cope with saying goodbye to Dad or Mom. I pray that they will remember that whatever happens to us, we can still make choices that bring joy to ourselves and to others."
