In “Badass Christian,” readers are plunged into the tumultuous life of Sugar, a girl adopted at birth into a provincial Southern black religious family. As she grows, Sugar mimics the adults around her, absorbing their hypocrisy and contradictions. This internal conflict drives her to distance herself from her religious roots, feeling the weight of their expectations and the sting of their judgment.
Her path crosses with Reverend Bebo, a local preacher whose own fall from grace mirrors her spiritual turmoil. Together, they embark on a forbidden journey of love, challenging the very foundations of their faith and community.
Through the eyes of a lifelong churchgoer, “Badass Christian” unveils the raw and unfiltered complexities of small-town Protestantism, giving voice to the congregants and their struggles. Amidst the emotional highs and lows, the novel weaves in Biblical wisdom, illustrating that God’s grace is sufficient for even the most rebellious souls.
This narrative resonates with current religious events, such as the recent fall from grace of prominent religious leaders, who stepped down due to inappropriate online behavior, and the ongoing scandals involving other high-profile pastors. These real-life stories of moral failure and redemption echo the themes of “Badass Christian,” highlighting the universal struggle between faith and human frailty.

An old African American grandmother tries to instill spiritual values in her willful naïve granddaughter before she dies, but Sugar would need more than old wives’ tales for her Gen-X, dirty-south world, she would need faith of her own.
Sugar tried really hard to serve the Lord but all she knew was what she was taught. Sometimes the traditions of man make the word of God of no effect. Things would change drastically when Rev. Bebo Biarritz came into the picture. It would change her for life forever. This little book is a blazed with the flames of passion, brimstone and the Holy Ghost. Sometimes God uses the most unlikely people to confound the wisdom of the wise. God looks at the heart. What are you looking at? You shall know them by their carnage. Or was it fruit? Travel this Damascus road with Sugar and Reverend Bebo Biarritz to the cross where the grace of God is sufficient for a Badass Christian. You may have to come out of your comfort zone to read this book. I dare you...
