Are We There Yet? cover

Comedic and Inspirational memoir from the stand-up comic who coined the phrase “Happy Wife, Happy Life”.

In his signature style of stand-up comedy bits, Jeff Allen shares the inspirational and at times laugh-out-loud story of how God rescued him from alcoholism and despair through the book of Ecclesiastes. At times, his story is tragic and even tear-jerking—but in the end, it demonstrates that God takes a customised approach to reaching each of His children. Known as “the King of Clean Comedy,” Allen’s memoir won’t disappoint.

“I was complaining about all my problems and addictions one day. My therapist looked me dead in the eye and said, ‘You should meet Jeff Allen.’ This book will give you a glimpse into the life of one of the best men I know, whether he’s crushing it at the comedy club or lipping out a birdie putt.” —JOHN CRIST, American and world-class comedian
“Superb! Enjoyable! Illuminating! Doxological! ... This book will bless, encourage, comfort, and be an exhortation to any who read it.” —TOMMY NELSON, senior pastor of Denton Bible Church, Denton, Texas
“Jeff’s story is a fascinating and poignant account of triumphing over obstacles that seem insurmountable. It serves as a testament that when one prioritizes God, blessings are sure to follow.” —JORDAN HARMON, president and cofounder of Angel Studios
“This is Jeff’s story—it’s a great one, and it’s a story for all of us.... It’s funny yet profound; inspiring and uplifting but deeply thought-provoking. It gives hope and answers questions many of us didn’t know we needed to ask.” —DAVID BARTON, author and founder of WallBuilders
“Jeff Allen is the best at what he does. His humor and his testimony combine to make Are We There Yet? both entertaining and powerful. I’m so pleased to recommend this book—you’ll enjoy it!” —MICHAEL W. SMITH, three-time Grammy Award winner and American Music Award recipient
“This is a book for the cynical, the raging, and the disillusioned. Be persistent; there is hope!” —BILL AND GLORIA GAITHER, founders of Gaither Music Group
“Jeff has a unique way of communicating the one thing God pretty much insists on: humility.” —GARY CHAPMAN, Grammy Award winner and TV and radio host
