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.

Megachurches get the headlines, but the reality is that the overwhelming majority of churches are small. These smaller churches are just as committed to God's overarching mission as any big church is. In fact, in many ways they are uniquelyqualified to do so. The leaders of these churches need a resource that understands their real-world context. Now, thanks to Jeff Allen, a Colorado pastor, they have one. Instead of extolling the latest church growth fads, Allen focuses on what's truly important--developing a fruitful culture of discipleship and mission in your particular church, no matter its size. Inside, you'll find practical tips on everything from the pastor's focus to church polity. In this much-needed resource, Allen connects church leaders and church members to the bigness of God's mission in the world, and encourages them toward partnering with God and others in ways they can actually put into practice.

Casey McGregor is going to do something awful. He just doesn't know it yet. No one does. Because in Oregon's sleepy capitol of Salem, life proceeds according to small town traditions and nothing too wonderful or terrible happens very often. People go to church, mind each other's business and try to give others every reason not to mind theirs... But that's all about to change when someone starts killing cats in one of Cherry City's oldest neighborhoods, not far from North Salem High School. Young attorney Courtney Lawson is on the case, riding along with the local police to help them gather evidence when she runs across Casey: a bullied sophomore who plays video games to escape reality and his abusive, alcoholic father. In the meantime, star MLB shortstop and womanizer Hunter Foxx is returning home for the offseason and senior Destiny Smotherman has just scored her first fake ID; it's only a matter of time before their fireworks become Salem's biggest scandal. Amidst it all is Mr. Scott, Casey and Destiny's high school English teacher, who becomes embroiled in a battle with the administration over disciplinary issues and a growing culture of sexual harassment at North Salem High School. Jeff Allen's powerful debut novel is a deep dive into the complexities and problems of modern society, rife with social commentary and satire. As the story unfolds against the backdrop of Cherry City, with forays into Willamette Valley Wine Country, Portland, and the Oregon Coast, our characters' stories become increasingly intertwined, stakes are raised, and the all too common specter of gun violence raises it's ugly head. The only question: will anyone be in time to stop it?

Tucker Max meets Neil Strauss in this irreverent and hilarious story of a modern-day hustler who decided to get laid or die trying. Before there were any books by Neil Strauss or Mystery, before there were pickup boot camps or DVD box sets, pickup existed as a loosely-knit "community" on Internet bulletin boards. There, would-be players shared their field reports, strategies, and results. They compared notes, exchanged critiques, and figured out a body of knowledge that defied everything men had ever been told about getting women--what has since come to be known as game. The undisputed king of the field report was a player named "jlaix." This was the handle of Jeff Allen, who would go on to be a founding member of Real Social Dynamics with Tyler Durden and Papa, all of whom play major roles in Neil Strauss's The Game, the bestselling expos of the world of pickup artists. In an arena founded on one-upmanship, Jeff Allen did it bigger and better than anyone. Get Laid or Die Trying presents in utterly shameless, hilarious, and graphic detail, Jeffy's gritty, 100 percent real, and jaw-droppingly astonishing feats of seduction, revealing exactly how one goes about: - Attracting the girl you want by sleeping with all of her friends - Getting into the pants of the hottest girl at the party--a total stranger--in less than thirty minutes - Deflecting last-minute resistance with a single word - Pulling a chick who is surrounded by ten jealous guys - Cutting out enormous dudes that could easily pound you to a "fine red mist" - Getting threesomes as your default extraction - Having a stable so big you have to trim it down, and other "quality problems" - Convincing a girl you just met that before you sleep with her, she must mow your lawn Jeff's tactics produce superhuman results, yet he doesn't do anything you couldn't do--now that you've seen it done. The worst part? You could have been doing this your whole life.
