Transition: Breaking Through the Barriers (2006)
[This is the book that started it all..."]
Who am I? What is my purpose? Everyone struggles with these thoughts. Even if we do find answers to these questions, there are still barriers that prevent us from discovering our true identity and living free. Some barriers we put up ourselves, while some are erected by others. Once we trust in God and discover how to break through these barriers, we become so much stronger.
An anthology of poetry, short stories and essays, TRANSITION recounts major moments and observations from the last 10 years of Allen's life. He shares many deeply personal aspects of his journey to self-discovery. He writes candidly about his suicide attempt and life struggles. Allen also seeks insight into the issues we all wrestle with: family, life, death, education, career, prejudice, relationships, society, the nature of God and our destiny. No matter your gender or ethnic background, the profound thoughts in TRANSITION challenge you to improve yourself and give you courage to break through the ever-present barriers that we all face. God has a purpose for your life! Are you ready to take the journey?

The Opposition (2015)
Curtis and Treyshawn are two fatherless boys who struggle to navigate the world. Curtis seeks to build on the life lessons his father taught him. Treyshawn seeks to break down the walls his father put between them. As these boys transition into manhood, how will they survive?
At the start of ninth grade, Treyshawn bullied Curtis relentlessly! But, this motivated Curtis to create a hi-tech plan.

Speedsuit Powers:
The Revelation (2017)
Every story that has a beginning... has an end.
Book Two closes on a cliffhanger: Curtis has been abducted. Treyshawn discovers why his father doesn't want him. Kelly attempts to help her roommate make a life-changing decision. Omar is injured. Gavin almost dies. And Miranda's quest for the truth has made her a target.
Now, in Book Three, things will go from bad to worse as Team Speedsuit tries to run towards a resolution:
After helping to rescue his young protege, Chasm Montgomery continues to remake Curtis in his own image. But will the "new" Curtis Powers sit well with his family and friends? And what is Chasm's motivation behind his generosity?
Meanwhile, Treyshawn is finding his place in college, but will his attempts to build a relationship with his father cause more harm than good?
And just who is the man in the undisclosed location? What nefarious plans would cause him to unleash a threat which could destroy Curtis and those closest to him?
All of these questions and more will be answered in this climactic conclusion where Curtis, Treyshawn and Kelly uncover the greatest revelation of all: One person's choice can affect the destiny of many.

The Resurrection Life: A 40
Day Journeywith Jesus (2020)
Around Easter, we often focus on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. But once the day passes, we go back to 'life as usual'. The disciples tried to do the same, but Jesus interrupted them.
This book seeks to recreated that period of divine interruption. It's an overlooked part of the Story, really... the 40 days between Jesus' resurrection and his ascension back to heaven. It's a footnote most of us read without a second thought, but during this time Jesus used the Scriptures to further reveal his identity, his coming kingdom and humanity's place in it.
What would happen if you took 40 consecutive days to focus on Jesus and his teachings? How would your life change? Read this devotional and find out.
This book is the sequel to RESURRECTION: The BIG Picture of God's Purpose and Your Destiny.
