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?"

"This book speaks about leaders pimping and prostituting the Body of Christ, leaving faithful givers and supporters hopeless, broke, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and sometimes physically. God has given Bishop WH Dawkins, Jr. a mandate to expose many of the schemes and tricks the enemy has used to bamboozle the people of God and minister a word of healing, deliverance, and wholeness."--Page 4 of cover.

You can argue the point that a pimp is a criminal who is abusive in his dealings with people in general, and women in particular. 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.

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"
