After a successful fifteen year career in the fitness industry, Allen began feeling restless and discontent. Fitness had always been home. A familiar and comforting place. After all he was almost 40 years old. Hardly the time to start something new. But could there be something else? It was a question he had never seriously considered. Then the chaos of 2020, and a shift began taking place in his heart.

In this honest and transparent memoir, Allen narrates his thoughts during one of the most collectively hardest years of our lifetime. As the year progresses, he grapples with what it looks like to be a Jesus follower in the midst of relationships, personal struggle, and racial inequality. Through past stories and current events, Allen explores what it means to live a great story.

A refreshing read for anyone looking to live a life of meaning, Acorns to Oak Trees is a thought-provoking reflection on God being most active during our darkest days and the reality that it's never too late to start again.
