Jeff Allen was a comedian with the lead role in a tragedy. Born into a tough working-class Chicago family, Allen fell into substance abuse at an early age, and his problems didn't magically go away when he got married. In fact, with the arrival of two children, they intensified. The sense that his life was meaningless made his family life as dark and biting as his comedy. But in his darkest moment, an unlikely encounter with the gloomiest book of the Bible set him on the path to salvation. The opening line of EcclesiastesÌ "Meaningless, meaningless, all in life is meaningless"Ì resonated with him. So he kept reading, and soon he discovered the Source of meaning. Eventually, Allen found himself with a revitalized marriage and a repurposed career. If you have struggled to find meaning in your life, this book is for you. With his trademark humor and unflinching honesty, Allen will point you to the only One who can answer the question, "Are we there yet?" You'll know when you've arrived"--From publisher website. 600 10 $a Allen, Jeff, $d 1956- $x Alcohol use. 600 10 $a Allen, Jeff, $d 1956- $x Mental health. 600 10 $a Allen, Jeff, $d 1956- $x Religion. 650 0 $a Comedians $x Religious life. 650 0 $a Comedians $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Autobiographies. 700 1 $a Andrews, Andy $c (Author), $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 2 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012855.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011828.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8764853EBB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
