  "A bleak but often engrossing real-life story of an eventful and sometimes-dangerous life." - Kirkus Reviews 
  “Sex, Drugs & Jesus is a riveting memoir that will capture your heart and take you inside the trials and tribulations of Mr. Hubert’s life. I was hooked from the first page.” - USA Today Bestselling Author, Theresa Hissong 
  My memoir delves into raw detail about my war with my myself. I open up about my crystal meth addiction and being a drug dealer in Houston, Tx. The pain of growing up in poverty under the hand of an abusive dad is also put on display. The time I spent serving in the Air Force during Don't Ask Don't Tell, and the promiscuity that went along with it, is divulged as well. I talk about how I received my HIV + diagnosis on a voicemail and my Hep B + diagnosis in the postal mail. My story gets more intense as I share about how I got 3 felonies, the time I spent in jail, and how I ended up homeless after S.W.A.T. kicked my door in. I talk about the biggest heartbreak in my life which happened when I was kicked out of a megachurch, that I had served with my whole soul for years, just because I am a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and refused to accept the conversion therapy package they offered. 
  So often people judge those who have been in similar situations. My hope is that my honesty can offer a glimpse into these issues from the inside, rather than from the outside looking in.

  God's Bestseller - William...

  Brian Moynahan

  The true story of the man who gave his life to create the English-language Bible.The English Bible—the most familiar book in our language—is the product of a man who was exiled, vilified, betrayed, then strangled, then burnt.William Tyndale left England in 1524 to translate the word of God into English. This was heresy, punishable by death. Sir Thomas More, hailed as a saint and a man for all seasons, considered it his divine duty to pursue Tyndale. He did so with an obsessive ferocity that, in all probability, led to Tyndale's capture and death.The words that Tyndale wrote during his desperate exile have a beauty and familiarity that still resonate across the English-speaking world: “Death, where is thy sting? . . . eat, drink, and be merry . . . our Father which art in heaven.” His New Testament, which he translated, edited, financed, printed, and smuggled into England in 1526, passed with few changes into subsequent versions of the Bible. So did those books of the Old Testament that he lived to finish.Brian Moynahan's lucid and meticulously researched biography illuminates Tyndale's life, from his childhood in England, to his death outside Brussels. It chronicles the birth pangs of the Reformation, the wrath of Henry VIII, the sympathy of Anne Boleyn, and the consuming malice of Thomas More. Above all, it reveals the English Bible as a labor of love, for which a man in an age more spiritual than our own willingly gave his life.

  Confessions of a Marseilles Mob...

  Amin Kacem

  This document is unique! It was written by the hand of a mob boss, on simple sheets of paper, between 2022 and 2023. For the first time, a Marseilles Tony Montana lifts the veil on the northern neighborhoods, the shootouts at the foot of the towers and the thousands of drug users who flock there every day.
  From his Algerian childhood to his run-ins with the law, via his career as a lookout, a drug dealer... and a dad, the man who calls himself Amin Kacem throws us into the world of Scarface. With his vivid, unvarnished pen, the mob boss tells of violence, danger, injustice, greed and the will to live.
  More than a story about a man and drugs, for the author, this book is a testament. Above all, it’s a terrible response to those who are surprised that entire neighborhoods are collapsing; it’s a thunderclap that will give pause to young people dreaming of a career as super-dealers; and it’s a merciless challenge to the politicians who, for a long time, could have, and therefore should have, prevented the current tragedies and imminent catastrophe.

  Blacksound - Making Race and...

  A new concept for understanding the history of the American popular music industry. 
   
   
    
  Blacksound explores the sonic history of blackface minstrelsy and the racial foundations of American musical culture from the early 1800s through the turn of the twentieth century. With this namesake book, Matthew D. Morrison develops the concept of "Blacksound" to uncover how the popular music industry and popular entertainment in general in the United States arose out of slavery and blackface. 
   
   
    
  Blacksound as an idea is not the music or sounds produced by Black Americans but instead the material and fleeting remnants of their sounds and performances that have been co-opted and amalgamated into popular music. Morrison unpacks the relationship between performance, racial identity, and intellectual property to reveal how blackface minstrelsy scripts became absorbed into commercial entertainment through an unequal system of intellectual property and copyright laws. By introducing this foundational new concept in musicology, Blacksound highlights what is politically at stake—for creators and audiences alike—in revisiting the long history of American popular music.
