Jeff Allen says, "Some days all we want to do is butter our waffle. But life doesn’t always cooperate." My Life as a Bystander is about these kind of days. Jeff also adds, "It’s also about trying to decode the secret code of women. It’s about grandparents who buy your three-year-old a BB gun. And it’s about arguments over cheese." Sound familiar? As one who has been married for over two decades and has raised sons, Jeff feels he has something to say on the subject. As a comedian, it’s usually something funny. And it is always interesting, maybe even a little profound.

(The men are on one side. The women on the other. ...)
The men are on one side. The women on the other. They're ready -- they're set -- they're off!... Well...maybe not. Seasoned comedy writers Martha Bolton and Brad Dickson take an unconventional, refreshing look at the over-forty race to the Fountain of Youth. Instead of heaping on the pressure to exercise more, eat less, manage your time, and save all your money for retirement, Bolton and Dickson offer a take-it-easy approach to aging with chapters like: € If Menopausal Women Ruled the World € How to Calculate Your Real Age € I Am Woman, Where'd I Go? € Desperate Grandmas € He Died of What? € Gimme a Head with Hair Filled with gentle encouragement and rolling humor, Race You to the Fountain of Youth will remind you to focus on the things that truly matter -- contentment, personal growth, faith, and joy. Relevant, real, and always funny, this look at the better half of life doesn't ask you to change one thing about yourself -- except maybe to laugh a bit more and worry a bit less.

Martha Bolton will have husbands and wives laughing at each other, themselves, and the sometimes zany institution of marriage with her new book. I Love You . . . Still takes aim at the humorous aspects of wedded bliss (at least Martha has found humor in them!). Each entry begins with a Scripture verse, followed by a comedy sketch on a theme common in most marriages, discussion questions, and a "Love Note." Chapters include: Shall We Gather at the Thermostat Is That What I Said? I've Grown Accustomed to Your Clutter 'Til Debt Do Us Part Planting Time Yes, there are definitely sticky issues when two people share lives, homes, kids, pets, and a broken air conditioner. But as Martha so joyously affirms on every page, I Love You . . . Still is for "lovers everywhere who have learned that the happiest married couples aren't those who have never seen trouble, but those who have kept their focus on the flowers while laughing at the thorns."
