HARD PREACHER

By: VINCENT MORRIS

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He left prison with a Bible, a scar, and no intention of preaching—until God handed him the mic... and a former stripper with a past worth saving.

He walked out of prison with a Bible, a record, and hell still clinging to his shadow.

Elijah Knox didn’t come out looking for God. He came out looking for peace. But peace doesn’t come easy to a man who took the fall for someone else’s bullet and wore thirteen years like a second skin. When he stumbles into Mount Zion AME—a tired Black church with cracked stained glass and secrets buried in its pews—he meets a pastor who’s not afraid of the dirt… and a woman who just might save him before he saves her.

Lace Harris was once the girl every boy wanted and no man kept. Stripping paid the bills. Shame kept her quiet. But the night she crosses paths with Elijah, everything shifts. From the pole to the pulpit, her journey is raw, unfiltered, and anything but pretty.

Together, they don’t just shake up the church…

They flip it upside down.

But the past never stays buried.
