The Gospel Blimp (book)

A Christian satire about a small group that decides to evangelize their neighborhood from a blimp. Dad originally self-published the book because no Christian publisher would. After the book sold 40,000 copies, Zondervan decided they would pick it up.

The Gospel Blimp (DVD)

A movie directed by Irvin "Shorty" Yeaworth, director of The Blob, is a sendup of Wheaton Evangelicalism. Shot in the sixties, it's retro and very funny.

Winterflight

An apocalyptic novel written in 1976 that deals with what will happen under nationalized health care. At the time Winterflight was written, readers thought it was a stretch. Recent readers say Dad was amazingly prescient.

View From a Hearse/Last Thing We Talk About

A very personal view of death from a father who lost three sons to death before they reached adulthood. If you have a friend grieving the loss of a loved one, give them this book. It's the one book those grieving will not set down until they've finished it.

Psalms of My Life

A collection of simple and very personal poems not written for publication, but published anyhow. Titles of the poems include "A Psalm on the Death of an Eighteen-Year-Old Son," "A Psalm in a Hotel Room," "A Psalm of the Fat Camel," and "A Psalm in a Colorado Meadow."

Heaven

A short meditation on death written by Dad as he lay in a Mayo Clinic hospital room waiting for surgery and contemplating death.

I Love to Tell the Story

Dad's journal and meditations born of decades teaching a Sunday school class.

I Saw Gooley Fly

A collection of modern parables aimed at waking up complacent Christians.

Congo Crisis

An account of the tumultous period (1960-1966) between the end of colonial rule and the beginning of the reign of the butcher Joseph Mobutu over the First Republic of Congo, during which over 100,000 were butchered and a number of Christians were martyred.

Out of My Mind: The Best of Joe Bayly

A selection of the columns Dad published monthly for twenty-five years in Eternity Magazine. Dad sometimes referred to himself as an Evangelical gadfly, and this is the record of his gadflying Evangelical superstars such as Bob Jones, Oral Roberts, and Bill Gothard.

A Voice in the Wilderness

A more recent compilation of Dad's writings.
