The Book
“Be accountable. Be responsible. Be on time. Or better yet, get there at ten ’til. You’ll be all the wiser - and more content!”
This funny, insightful, life-affirming collection uses everyday moments-from the tobacco fields of South Carolina to the red-carpet premieres of Hollywood -to demonstrate the value of showing up early, holding yourself accountable, welcoming change, nourishing others, and being fully present and engaged with life.
The Movie

“Just Pray is a coming of age story involving a young Southern boy who is searching for resolution within his life. The film shares a beautiful and universal message about hope, redemption and salvation: sometimes you find these in the most unexpected people and in the most unexpected places. Directing this film was a gift and provided me the unforgettable opportunity to participate in the magic of storytelling.” Tiffani Thiessen
Reviews: “…Thiessen has captured the theme in an understated and elegant way…Just Pray shows great promise for Thiessen’s future behind the camera…” Michael Janusonis, The Providence Journal
