R. Joshua Collins gave up a successful teaching career to serve America’s homeless, and found himself arrested, falsely accused, and fighting for justice.

Called by his Christian faith to live among those society too often ignores, Collins sold his possessions and stepped onto the streets. There, he discovered not only hardship and injustice, but extraordinary resilience, hope, and the presence of God.

His mission eventually brought him to Las Vegas, where he became an outspoken advocate for the homeless while publicly proclaiming the gospel. 

Opposition followed. Facing arrest, legal battles, and a false accusation, Collins refused to remain silent. Representing himself in court, he fought back, and won.

Preaching and Persecution in Sin City! is a remarkable true story of faith under fire, justice, and perseverance. Part memoir, part courtroom drama, it asks a challenging question: How much would you risk to follow your calling and stand for those without a voice?
