Author Jared Taylor graduated from Anderson University in Anderson, South Carolina, with a BS in business management. He is a follower of Jesus Christ and loves to tell others about Jesus through his own life experiences. Jared and his wife Lacy attend Church at the Mill in Spartanburg, South Carolina. They have three beautiful girls: Anna and Rayna on Earth and Alayna in heaven.

“Praise & Pray” tells the true story of author’s daughter Alayna Taylor, who was born one pound, twelve ounces, and lived her entire life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Through their daily blog posts, Alayna’s parents expressed their faith throughout the ninety-nine-day journey, encouraging their followers to not only pray for things but to also praise God throughout the process.

Taylor shares, “This book is not only an attempt to tell my story but more so the story of a little girl and a great big God. When I say little girl, that could very well be an understatement as you’ll see as you read further. This is the story of my daughter, Alayna, who was born premature in January of 2009. I will go into more detail, but I’m sure you can imagine the trials that we faced during this time. This book will outline the ups and downs of dealing with a premature baby as well as the faith that held us together through a situation like this.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Jared Taylor’s new book is inspired by the author’s desire to share Alayna’s story and his faith. Whether one is interested in Alayna’s story, has questions about eternity for children, or wonders how to comfort someone that has lost a child, “Praise & Pray” will help readers navigate those challenging waters. Alayna’s story will encourage readers to diversify your faith portfolio with two equally important investments: praise and prayer.

Readers can purchase “Praise & Pray: Alayna’s 99 Days to Heaven” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
