Excellent Autobiography on a Talented Man of God

Kirk Franklin is one of the most talented and anointed songwriters I've ever heard of. To me, he's the absolute best. In this autobiography, Kirk takes you back to his childhood days. He also talks about what occurred between then and 1998 (when the book was published). -A lot has happened since then, so maybe he should write a continuation. Kirk tells it like it is in this book... there's no holding back. I think that people are sometimes scared of the truth and Kirk brings the truth like no one else. That is why he gets so much flack from folk. People should search their hearts and start focusing on the truth that God wants them to see. Truth that He can show them through a book or someone's life story. Give this book a chance -- it is definitely worth the read!

What Lucifer tried to destroy before birth God has delivered

Minister Kirk Franklins' book is very informative and good. He tells you exactly what he went thru growing up. If you read this book you will know exactly where he came from in order to understand where he is presently. He tells you about the major rejection he has experienced most of his growing years. He was rejected by his birth mother, and a number of clergy among others'. You see what Satan tries to destroy, God uplifts...that is what he has done for me personally and Minister Kirk Franklin...He is honest in this book in reference to his life and is very open in ref. to how being rejected by people made him feel. I would highly recommend that everyone get this book, read it and pass it on or purchase more of these books and give them to people who need to read it...I am so happy that by God's grace, Minister Kirk Franklin has survived his traumatic growing pains in order to do what he is doing now at this very moment, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ thru his music. God Bless you!

This man holds nothing back

I bought this book a couple years ago and still remember most of the details. The thing that stands out about this book is Kirk's transparency. He is to the point where he is brutally honest about his life and his walk with the Lord. I identified with his pain and hurt that he experienced as a child. My heart ached for him as he dealt with loneliness and rejection for only wanting to be who he was.He is definitely real about his experiences. This should be an inspiration to all Christians who try to hide behind the mask of being perfect. This book showed me that I can be honest with God , others, and myself.

God is well and alive

The book is about a young boy who got adopted at the age of three. He was exsposed to a lot of gangs, violence,drugs, and sew when he was growing up. He mother was an old elderly lady whao adopted him when she was in her late seventies. She took ccare of him the best way she knew how and gave him everything he needed even if she had to sacrafice. This book was really inspirational to myself. It helped me to understand more about god and how he works in mysterious ways. Kirk uses his singing and musically ablity to help minster to young people. This basically about how the lord works in mysterious ways and if you want to be with the lord just trust in him and you will reign with him forever.

great!

It was so great to read how the Lord has worked in his life. Kirk gets transparent in the book, and his honesty makes it hit home all the more. Praise GOd, because He does all things well!
