Summary: Kirk Franklin autobiography
Review: Franklin music lovers will want to get a glimpse of his life and learn about his humble Ft. Worth, Texas beginnings. This was a boy who was laughed at when he was a kid, who considered himself 'weird,' and who got into enough trouble to get kicked out the house a few times. But God's hand was upon this musically gifted man, and the rest is history. You may laugh, cry, and rejoice as you read about the trying experiences of one of this decade's most observed and celebrated gospel artists.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: This man holds nothing back
Review: 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.

Summary: Dreadful
Review: I love Kirk Franklin's music. So does he - and he seems to love himself even more! Not only does this book drip of self-praise and egotism, it rings loudly of homophobia. Of all the horrible things that might have happened to Kirk as a kid (and he doesn't really tell you any!) the worst, in his mind, seems to be that he was called a queer. Give me a break.

Kirk glosses over details, and pretty much everyone outside of his immediate, current, family have no names listed at all.

Don't waste your time AND your money. Buy a CD and be thankful that its ok to love the message and not the messenger!

Summary: What Lucifer tried to destroy before birth God has delivered
Review: 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!

Summary: God is well and alive
Review: 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.
