About this listen

 Women’s rights activist, Lynn Cummings, switches up churches like shoes. As soon as her anointing is exposed, she runs – that is, until she finds a pew at First Baptist Church, where Lynn is anchored by the wiles of the debonair Pastor Stewart.

Lynn, becomes the woman on Stewart’s arm, and with that, becomes the target of women who are always up in Pastor Stewart’s face, namely, his quote-unquote friend Bianca, the skin-bleaching, man-worshipping teen choir director who’ll stop at nothing to become Stewart’s first lady.

Even Nay, the wife of Stewart’s right hand man, Associate Pastor Levi Ginyard, throws shade, as if she knows something about Stewart that makes Lynn a fool for being with him. Despite the red flags observed by Lynn (who is, by the way, a survivor of domestic violence), Stewart’s charm prevails. The boyish zeal with which he woos Lynn, keeps her at First Baptist Church beyond the point of her anointing being exposed.

So, for Lynn, it’s no shock when the Women’s Day Committee asks her to be the keynote speaker; the shocker is being a women’s rights activist, hearing that she must deliver the speech from a lectern because women are not allowed at the pulpit.

Pastor Stewart had no idea what he was getting himself into, courting Lynn, but in First Baptist’s centennial year, he knows that Lynn is in the time and place of God’s choosing, and he now has an ally to fight the Ginyard family that makes up the board of trustees that’s kept Stewart under their thumb.

From 2023 AAMBC Male Author Of The Year Nominee, comes a stunning tale that delivers on so many levels: the good ole southern storytelling; the romance; the laughs; the intricate plotting; the hard hitting themes of gender equality and suspense in a domestic violence example where a life hangs in the balance, in a race against time to save her, which gives a display of the harm that male-centered teachings causes women.

A Pimp In The Pulpit’s strength is a colorful stable of characters to be long remembered, especially Lynn, with her anointing and scriptural acumen, removing the psychological yoke from women who were always told that they were “lesser vessels.” African American Christian Fiction Genre Fiction
