Donald G. Payne is a Christian author, entrepreneur and the creator of Payneless Advice – Whole Life Success. Donald believes in taking the principles of Christianity and applying them in a practical way into our everyday lives. From earliest memory, Donald has always been known for his ability to speak while others listen. He has also been able to express his thoughts through the written word. Through his writing, Donald seeks to bring awareness to the common pitfalls that life can bring without using fancy gimmicks, so that fewer people are taken advantage of and strung along for the rides he has both personally experienced and seen with others. Born and raised in the Motor City (Detroit, Michigan), Donald has seen it all, good times, bad times but has persevered remaining positive and encouraging others to do the same. His second book, “Fear Folly and Purpose” chronicles his story on how he overcame the dangers of Detroit. His passion for writing began to take shape while attending Baker College, where he studied industrial technology. While there, he worked on short stories that eventually became the premise for his first book “Living in the Red.” Even though he did not have an initial desire to pursue a writing career, he never stopped writing. He is quoted as saying, “When God gives me something to write, I start writing.” Spending the majority of his adult life as a certified and licensed field electrician, Donald was constantly being sought after by his fellow tradesmen for help and guidance as they pertain to some of life’s many pitfalls (divorce, financial hardships, drug and alcohol abuse to name a few). Throughout his career, Donald has continued to promote “Practical Christian Living.” Donald remains sincere in his approach, and keeps God as the main focus of his life and in his teachings. Donald is best known, however for his 2006 financial revelation book entitled “Bound by the Debt Demon,” which chronicled his journey and the journey of others as they battled their ways through debt, looking for a way to build a better life for themselves and their families. The book has been an inspirational revelation to all who have graced its pages. Donald's fourth book, “No Longer Bound - How to Maximize Your Success and Increase Your Possibilities,”—which is a follow up the author's first book—is helping those who have discovered the freedom of no longer being bound, and exploring the possibilities of an abundant successful life. Donald has a long history of helping others. His approach is unique, and his wisdom captures the reader as each example paints a clear picture of how to protect yourself, as well as better yourself, so that your life will have purpose. Donald currently resides in Metro Detroit area with his wife, and children.
