Hey, Jesus, it's me I have questions, comments, and concerns
Book - 2024
"When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Ellen Skrmetti longed to bring a little joy to the dark struggles the world was facing. She thought about all of times she'd asked Jesus to walk with her through pain and heartache--and how often He'd laughed with or comforted her, even during her blazing hot flashes. So she decided to share that message with others, in 30-second videos on Instagram that quickly went viral. Holding a remote control in her hand, Ellen "calls" Jesus with comments and questions, including asking Him not to make her an advance maternal age mama (again) and if He could bless the nourishment of her food to someone else's body. She also asks for advice when her best friend's ex-husband's new ...wife shows up in the next pew, or what nursing home plans to make when she's eight years past your first geriatric pregnancy. From a pageant queen with stage fright, to viral videos, to her growing popularity as a stand-up comedian with sold-out performances, Ellen's humor is rooted in southern charm and culture. Her relatable essays in Hey Jesus, It's Me will bring levity to our lives, or at least some validation that we're not the only ones asking if we can ghost our relatives in heaven"--
