  Why Bushwick Bill Matters

  In 1989 the Geto Boys released a blistering track, “Size Ain’t Shit,” that paid tribute to the group’s member Bushwick Bill. Born with dwarfism, Bill was one of the few visibly disabled musicians to achieve widespread fame and one of the even fewer to address disability in a direct, sustained manner. Initially hired as a dancer, Bill became central to the Geto Boys as the Houston crew became one of hip-hop’s most important groups. 
   
  Why Bushwick Bill Matters chronicles this crucial artist and explores what he reveals about the relationships among race, sex, and disability in pop music. Charles L. Hughes examines Bill's recordings and videos (both with the Geto Boys and solo), from the horror-comic persona of “Chuckie” to vulnerable verses in songs such as “Mind Playing Tricks On Me,” to discuss his portrayals of dwarfism, addiction, and mental illness. Hughes also explores Bill’s importance to his era and to the longer history of disability in music. A complex figure, Bill exposed the truths of a racist and ableist society even as his violent and provocative lyrics put him in the middle of debates over censorship and misogyny. Confrontational and controversial, Bushwick Bill left a massive legacy as he rhymed and swaggered through an often-inaccessible world.

  When life drops out from under you, whether it's a diagnosis, a betrayal, or a crisis you didn't see coming, will your faith hold? Josh Nadeau takes you inside the year his own life nearly ended and the long, disorienting road to make sense of it. Josh invites you to rediscover with him what makes a faith strong enough to hold you beyond certainty, beyond control, and far beyond what makes sense. In the face of death, this is a road map to life. 
  Blending vivid storytelling with his trademark embodied spiritual insight, Nadeau invites you to reconsider what you believe about suffering, control, and what it means to live well. With an insider's honest perspective, he exposes the assumptions many of us build our lives on: that living well can wait, that there's plenty of time to figure out our faith, and that the conviction we need will magically be there when everything starts to fall apart. 
  This book is a collection of practical responses to the worst moments of our lives teaching you how to:trust God when your life stops making senseendure the unexpected without losing your faith or yourselfuncover the assumptions that quietly make your faith fragileanchor your life in something deeper than your circumstancesstart forming a faith now that will hold when everything inevitably falls apart 
    
  You won't find a formula for avoiding pain, but you'll find a way of life rooted in love, a heart shaped by surrender, and a faith practiced in real time in the valley of the shadow. 
  The question isn't if your world will be shaken; it's what will remain when it is.
