ABOUT THE BOOK Top 10 Essence Bestseller What would one man do to save his own life? After being held down by a mob, while they injected heroin-filled needles into the veins of this young minister, of age 21; Rev. Burton Barr Jr. was not aware of the 20 year struggle that awaited him. Needles and syringes thrown into allies, only to be retrieved less than an hour later, on hands and knees with a Bic cigarette lighter. When is the last time that you’ve heard of a minister that was arrested over 30 times, wanted by the police all over the country, and addicted to nearly every drug that you could imagine? Rev. Burton Barr Jr. details his life of crime and redemption, as a former criminal and drug addict managed to out-live all of his friends and pen an Essence Bestselling book, called “The Hoodlum Preacher”. "The Hoodlum Preacher helped get me through some discouraging times while being imprisoned. The book confirmed the fact that I can accomplish anything, as long as I have faith." -- Project Pat, Hip-Hop Artist
