"Sometimes, God isn't just walking in the storm, He is the storm."Raw and powerful, "a wild, emotional ride that grabs you by the heart." In a profoundly honest and moving story marked by personal loss and failure, Todd Allen pulls back the curtain and ushers the reader into his world, reliving the peaks and valleys of a life spent in the shadowlands. His deep, intimate style pull readers in and takes them on a journey framed by the contours of a conservative Christian upbringing. Rural, evangelical churches, one-room schools and summer Bible camps dot the midwestern landscape of a sheltered world with Jesus squarely at the center. While candid and pointed, his reflections on life and church and faith are written with a novelist's eye and viewed through a lens of sentimental nostalgia for simpler times. As loss piles on loss, we watch as a family breaks apart and a childhood faith founders in the storms of life. We walk with him as disappointment with Christianity leads him to walk away from that faith for nearly a decade. This is a story of faith and forgiveness, loss and failure, of a broken and wandering heart and a God who never lets go.

"E-Mail From Nigeria" is the new humor anthology from Todd Allen, author of the "Todd's Oddities" column in "New York Resident."  Sociological observations run amok.  Tales of relationships gone horribly wrong.  The foibles of business and politics.  Strange things defying categorization.  It is Todd's lot in life to document such things, or at least make them up.  This volume features several columns never before seen in a print format.  "No one can take the ludicrous and mundane and turn it into a funny dissertation on society like Todd Allen can. E-Mail from Nigeria is filled with enough hysterical twists and turns to empower a small African nation." -- Mark Rifkin, Editor in Chief, New York Resident News Magazine  "Todd Allen is a pop-culture chameleon, like Madonna without the accent and twice the sex drive. The man is a zeitgeist maestro, such a hipster that's he's an anti-hipster." -- Marty Beckerman, Author, Generation S.L.U.T., Death To All Cheerleaders
