Jeff Allen (Comedian & Author)

Comedian Jeff Allen joins the program to talk about his new book Are We There Yet?--My Journey from a Messed-Up to Meaningful Life.

Allen grew up in Chicago (his father troweled the last step of the highest point of the Sears Tower) and was on the Philadelphia Phillies' radar to potentially draft when he was a freshman in college. Alcohol, drugs and other problems derailed Allen's athletic career, and over time his life began to spiral out of control (including narrowly escaping going to jail for 3-5 years for being caught with cocaine in his car...and just two nights later, driving home the wrong way on the expressway).

Married with children, his challenges grew--when in his darkest season, Allen discovered the Source of true meaning while reading the book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament.

Are We There Yet? is Salem (WFIL's parent company)'s September Book of the Month. You can enter to win it on the CONTESTS page at wfil.com :).
