In the intriguing novel The Pimp and the Preacher, former hustler Clyde Robinson learns the inner secrets of pimping the church and vows to expose its devious ministers. After spending more than twenty years behind bars, Clyde Robinson, otherwise known as Pretty Boy, is being released from prison. When asked what he is going to do when he gets out, Clyde informs his fellow inmates that his plan is to go back to the only game he knows, running women a.k.a. "pimping". After much laughter, several inmates tell Clyde to update his game and get with the latest hustle. Clyde questions what that is and is told by another inmate that it is those five magical words that no one can contest, "I've been called to preach." After reading The Pimp and the Preacher, one may ask if this is just a scandalous novel or if it is possibly true. The real question is "Who's pimping who?"

On the streets of Los Angeles, every five-mile radius has its own Superfly, and Bruce Henderson was The Fly of his. At the top of his game back in the day, he knew only free-flowing cash, hip cribs, a cash-cow drug business, brand new cars every month (to scramble the cops off his trail), and wall to wall women. All was going well for Bruce and his pimpdom until one day when his mother gave him a little booklet that packed a big punch. He made the 'mistake' of reading it, and life as he knew it, was never again the same. With every turn of the page, Bruce falls deeper and deeper into a supernatural abyss that seemed to play for keeps. Something or someone meant to own him, consume him. The booklet proved to be his 'Jonah's whale.' It's a rare occasion, indeed, when the walls between this physical world melt away completely, in true Elijahesque-style, only to expose the very Creator. And for Bruce, there seemed to be no limits at all to what the Creator would show him, do for him or take him to! Today, at the touch of his hand, Bruce's healing ministry manifests in ways perhaps never seen before in the Continental U.S. Join Evangelist Bruce Henderson on his shocking, near-catastrophic induction into Christ and ultimate salvation. "Bravo!" raves everyone who's read his story!

On the other hand, a preacher is a man of God, kind and thoughtful of others. These men, while different in their goals, possess the same gifts and skills to achieve and perpetuate their agendas. You may not agree with (or even like) what will be revealed on the following pages, but if you?re honest with yourself, the ?light bulb? will come on.

“[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.
