From Pimpin to the Pulpit

Have you ever lost hope in life because of your past? Has life situations taken a hold on you? Have you ever been told that you are no good, and will never be any good? Well my brothers, sisters that's a lie straight out of hell. You see I to was told the same thing.

Jay Bee was the name that I used in a world that was so dark, and ugly that the only light at the end of the tunnel was death. My real name is Jaymes Browne, and yes I was a pimp, a drug user, and I have a state number. This is my story, told without bitterness, and with no pretense at moralizing the sounds, the fears, and the petty triumphs in a world where your dreams can come true then evaporate into thin air. No other book that I know of comes anywhere near this one in its description of the raw, brutal reality of living in Satan's jungle that lurks beneath the surface of every city. I have spent over twenty-five years of my life in hell. Others like me died in prison or in insane asylums, or were shot down in the street. But God, who allowed me to escape a physical death, and a drug habit to live in the light of my Lord, Jesus Christ. Allowing me to share the goodness of his love, and how He can change lives, even yours.
