There are untold numbers of Americans, especially those in religious institutions, who are suffering in silence from the disease of addiction, primarily drugs and alcohol. Professionals, including pastors, who have money, power and prestige, can get caught up in any addiction and think it will not happen to them because of their position. Their families go through living hell because someone in the house has a drug or alcohol problem and they dont know what to do. The Pipe and the Pulpit tells the true story of an addicted, inner -city, highly educated, pastor who got caught up in alcohol and cocaine abuse but found hope and deliverance through a tried and proven way. This book is for the addicted and their families, especially in the church, and want help. Fasten your traditional, religious, seatbelt for the non-traditional, Spiritual ride of your life for deliverance. There is Hope for you!

Evangelist Myra Pratt is a licensed minister whose Passion is to help men and women who are bound by addiction. She is the founder of Love, Faith, and Hope Womens ministry, a non-profit organization designed to give hope to the hopeless. Evangelist Pratt has ministered to thousands of addicts who have given their lives to Christ because of the success of her testimony. She has also minstered in various correctional facilities including the D.C.C. Womens unit located in Pine Bluff, AR, where she served time herself. Its not about me says Evangelist Pratt, its about God and souls. I thank God that my two daughters Karey Russell and Coretta Muhammad did not follow in my addiction. They both achieved their own success in life. Karey, who is studying to get her RN license, has two sons and five god-daughters. Coretta is an RN. She and her husband have four sons and three daughters. I thank God that He has restored not only me, but my family as well.
Face Your Pharaoh is a call to action for those who are tired of feeling held hostage in their own lives. Alaine reaches out to those who have been surviving merely by functioning within dysfunctional situations and sends us a message that reminds us of the authority God has given us to be active participants in our own rescue. Her book sheds a different light on the perspective of Moses’s great call to deliverance. In this book, Alaine challenges her readers to look within and to eliminate defeatist mindsets that are keeping them from the promise of their purpose. Her book empowers us to win from within by seeing that no enemy is stronger than the inner-me, and that we must first conquer ourselves to walk into the promise of our purpose.
My reason for writing this book is to share my experiences with the hope that someone reading it will appreciate the fact that one can change for the better. Our young men and women are facing insurmountable odds of surviving in our communities. I read a report from the Centers for Disease Control, which states the US saw the highest rate of gun-related deaths in more than twenty-five years. Firearm murders increased most among youth and young adults--40 percent for those ten to twenty-four. The increases were also highest for people of color. Rates of homicide involving Black males ages ten to twenty-four years were already twenty-one times as high as white males of the same age. Crime as a whole is on the increase. Long-standing systemic inequities and structural racism limit economic and education opportunities. They contribute to unfair and avoidable health disparities among some racial and ethnic groups. So I'm sending out the SOS (Save Our Seeds).
The story in the New Gomorrah is about a Midwestern city so steeped in crime and corruption, that a new minister, Reverend Dr. David Chandler, at a prestigious church on Park Avenue, feels he must do something about it. In a challenging sermon, he compares it to Gomorrah, the ancient city of biblical times destroyed by fire because of its evil ways. His compelling words are heard by Paul Chedder, a cynical, now burned-out, but once highly regarded investigative reporter for The Daily Chronicle, the citys only daily newspaper. Dr. Chandler is popular among the young people in the church, and has learned about the drug trafficking on the local college campus. He is furious to hear about the gambling and prostitution rampant in the city, the running of crap games at the American Legion Hall, and berates local authorities for doing nothing about the bookie operation next to the Civic Center. He decides to bring such matters to the attention of his congregation in his sermon. The city s crime problems expand with the assassination of the drug kingpin, and Pauls ongoing private investigations into a nursing home swindle, the possibility of corruption in City Hall, the death of two young reporters working with him, and his own near death at the hands of the assassin. While Paul is recuperating, the trusted members of the citizens committee decide to share Pauls suspicions of the Mayors involvement with the trusted District Attorney, working together to get crime off of the streets.
