A Grotesque Animal

Amy Lee Lillard

At the age of forty-three, Amy Lee Lillard learned she was autistic. She learned she was part of a community of unseen women who fell through the gaps due to medical bias and social stereotypes. 
 
 
 
A Grotesque Animal explores the making, unmaking, and making again of a woman with an undiagnosed disorder. How did a working-class background and a deep-rooted Midwest culture of silence lead to hiding in plain sight for decades? How did sexuality and anger hide the roots of trauma among the women in her family? And what does it mean to be a queer, disabled, aging woman, a descendant of wild but tamed mothers and a survivor of the things patriarchy inflicts? 
 
 
 
Through wide-ranging styles and a combination of personal storytelling and cultural analysis, Lillard dissects anger, sexuality, autistic masking, bodies, punk, and female annihilation to create a new picture of modern women.

Jesus in your Skin

Scott C. Lovett

The ability of the world system to conquer and divide has always been based on its efforts to try to divide groups through skewed narratives and warped beliefs. The ultimate agenda of wicked men in power is to separate people because of social class, race, and status. While groups devour one another, those in power gain control by subjecting the people through programs and ideologies that are specifically designed to cause people to bow to the very men creating the narrative. These beliefs and narratives indoctrinate the people to operate in beliefs that place them in further bondage. 
While the world system works to turn people into subjects, God searches for people who long to be set free from these bondages. His work starts inside those who seek a way of life that leads to greater freedom.  In this book, you will discover that all bondage is instigated from within. It exists within all humanity. It is beyond race, class, and society and it is the source and foundation of all evil that exists in the world. While today’s so-called relevant scientists, world governments, and global capitalists use biology and race as the key to world domination, the principles that produce the most freedom are found operating in those who acknowledge the will and purposes of the Creator. As you read this book take a journey that will illuminate your understanding and take you back to mankind’s true source of justice and liberty.

The Age of the Great...

A.A. Castor

"The Age of the Great Whore-Reformation" is not a book for the faint of heart—it's a fearless cultural autopsy. Through biting truth, unapologetic critique, and disturbingly honest analysis, this book explores the modern woman's journey from sexual liberation to spiritual monetization. From Instagram repentance to OnlyFans conversions, from porn star to prophetess, we are witnessing the rise of women who trade lingerie for long skirts—only to wear faith like a brand.
This is the brutal tale of performative repentance, where religious imagery replaces erotic content, and "modesty" is sold with the same thirst as sin once was. But more than that, it's a lament for the forgotten faithful—the pure, the disciplined, the unseen women who are ignored while the reformed are rewarded. This book investigates how masculinity must be earned, while femininity is merely reclaimed, repackaged, and sold again.
Part social critique, part psychological profile, part spiritual warning—this book dives into:The cultural commodification of redemptionThe new market of religious influencersThe silence of true repentance versus the noise of rebrandingWhy real love, trust, and femininity are disintegratingWhat happens when shame becomes strategy
If you've ever asked why the world celebrates the fallen who rise with followers, but never honors the ones who never fell—this is your book.
Darkly humorous, dead serious, and disturbingly true—"The Age of the Great Whore-Reformation" holds up a mirror. Whether you see repentance, rebranding, or both is up to you.
