Coming in January
The Sacred Place for Broken People
The Sacred Place for Broken People is a compassionate, unflinching exploration of faith, honesty, and healing. Drawing from lived experience inside and outside the church, Dr. Tahlib McMicheaux invites readers to encounter God not through perfection or performance, but through truth, vulnerability, and grace.
This book is for anyone who has felt wounded, overlooked, or disillusioned by religious spaces yet still longs for a faith that makes room for real people and real pain. Releasing January 2026.
Dr. Tahlib is pleased to announce the upcoming release of his new book, How Do You Capture A Monkey, The Progressive Nature of Sin. Available now.
By Rev. Dr. Tahlib McMicheaux
How Do You Capture A Monkey
The Progressive Nature of Sin
Study Guide
This book and study guide is written to be a disrupter, to prompt people to discuss sin in a way they have never discussed it before. We often define this word in simple terms; however, the regulation of this word on our lives is often not so simple, and the eradication of sin from our lives is even more difficult. I believe it’s time we have a discussion about the complexities of this three-letter word called sin, and I believe we can begin with the model found in this book. The question we must ask ourselves is: Could there be a well-thought-out trap to capture our souls?

Meet the Man Behind the Message
A father, grandfather, pastor, and author—guided by faith and purpose.
Family Is My Foundation
I’m the proud father of three adult children and five amazing grandchildren. Their individuality reminds me daily of the beauty in God’s design. Family grounds me, fuels my writing, and deepens my understanding of love and legacy.
Called to Serve, Called to Speak
As a pastor and public speaker, I’ve met countless believers who love God deeply but still feel disconnected from their true calling. I believe that when we don’t walk in our purpose, something vital is missing. Whether you’re called to love, to encourage, or to heal—your calling matters.
Writing as a Spiritual Practice
Writing is more than craft—it’s a calling. Each word I write humbles me before God and stretches me in my faith. My work, including How Do You Capture A Monkey, is designed to challenge, equip, and awaken the soul.
A Book Born of Urgency and Love
My latest book is a study guide meant to do more than inform—it’s meant to transform. Through conversations on sin, addiction, and spiritual traps, I pray this resource helps groups and individuals confront what holds them back and rediscover their power in God.
This Is Your Season to Walk in Calling
I believe this is a time of spiritual urgency. My hope is that churches and small groups around the world will use this book not because I wrote it, but because the message was divinely inspired.
Now is the time to rise, reclaim what’s been stolen, and live fully in your God-given purpose.

How Do You Capture A Monkey, engages small groups with a series of questions after each chapter to discuss and reflect on where they are at in the 5-step progressive nature of sin model.

Daddy’s Little Guls: Big Girl’s Special Day
This is one of the books in the Daddy’s Little Guls series, sharing stories about raising two little girls as a single dad. Most of the information I found on the topic of the menstrual cycle or Special Day as I call it, was technical. I needed something age appropriate and fun addressing a females coming of age. So I wrote my own children’s book for all family’s to make this a conversation easy and informative.
