If you are a minister, have a minister, know a minister or know someone else that has or knows a minister, this book is an absolute must read. Money and sex are two of the biggest culprits of our time and being in the church is no guarantee to immunity. The real names have been changed to protect the guilty and should the likeness of any character in this book appear to resemble any individual, it is purely intentional. True to form, I have deliberately resorted to the act of embellishment on certain factual like accounts in this book, purely for effect of it all. Dr. Timm's has written this book to let the children of God everywhere know that you are not alone and that the goings on at your local church is not an isolated incidence. Every church needs to have a Pastor/Minister, but know this, God has an all Seeing Eye and He has not forgotten about your plight. I dare you to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, let Him fix it, wait on God, He will show up and He will definitely show out. Not only will we have to pay for our wrongdoings, but they that have pleasure in them will have a price to pay as well; "Thus saith the Lord" From the same author that brought us; "Little Miss Sanctified" and "Church-Folk Some Messed-Up-Folk"

Seeking to transform community-based theatre-making, this book explores the transformative potential of abolitionist theatre, as theatre artists and teachers collaborate with marginalized communities to challenge systems of oppression and inspire profound societal change. Focusing on the idea of bringing people together to demand collective care and community-led practice, this collection works to define theatre’s role in the goals of abolition. Abolitionist theatre-making is a theatre that is connected to the practice of decolonization, intersectional feminism, climate justice, social justice, and liberation struggles. Exploring these ideas and offering a direct exploration of the questions that theatre artists and teachers should ask themselves when evaluating the abolitionist impact of their work, the volume provides accessible and practical tools for theatre-makers with perspectives from working practitioners throughout. Through real-life stories and experiences shared by theatre practitioners, the book provides a rich and diverse tapestry of examples that highlight the ways in which community-based theatre can contribute to transformational change. Readers will benefit from practical frameworks, thought-provoking perspectives, and thoughtfully crafted insights that inspire them to reimagine their own theatre practices and empower them to create theatre that challenges and dismantles oppressive systems while uplifting marginalized voices. Ideal for undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in utilizing theatre-making for social change, this book offers new and practical insights into how the path to abolition might be laid and theatre’s key role in it. This book will also be of great interest to theatre artists and activist practitioners who are involved in community-based theatre projects with marginalized populations.

“[In Pimp], Iceberg Slim breaks down some of the coldest, capitalist concepts I’ve ever heard in my life.” —Dave Chappelle, from his Nextflix special The Bird Revelation Pimp sent shockwaves throughout the literary world when it published in 1969. Iceberg Slim’s autobiographical novel offered readers a never-before-seen account of the sex trade, and an unforgettable look at the mores of Chicago’s street life during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. In the preface, Slim says it best, “In this book, I will take you, the reader, with me into the secret inner world of the pimp.” An immersive experience unlike anything before it, Pimp would go on to sell millions of copies, with translations throughout the world. And it would have a profound impact upon generations of writers, entertainers, and filmmakers, making it the classic hustler’s tale that never seems to go out of style.
