Pre-Order Kirk Franklin's New Book: "The Blueprint" Today!

Kirk Franklin's life was hardly built on a firm foundation. His father abandoned the family. His mother also abandoned Kirk, and constantly told him he was an unwanted child. He was adopted by his 64 year old Aunt Gertrude at the age of four. His sister became a crack addict. He never saw a black man who was faithful in marriage. Without a blueprint, he struggled mightily yet managed to triumph even more mightily, dedicating his life to helping others find hope during hardship. With The Blueprint, he provides an inspiring blend of God and grit to deliver real-world words of wisdom. The Blueprint delivers an honest new direction, taking faith out of the pews and into the real lives of all who struggle.

GODS COMPLETING ME....
Hello Brother Franklin, First let me say that I love your music and you story is an inspiration to me.
I am a 34 year old women. I knew early in my life that I was blessed and favored by GOD but it wasnt to about last October that I realized how GOD has been the one keeping me all these years. I am a victim of rape, child molestation by my mothers boyfriends from age 5 til about age 12 I had been molested by over three four different males in my family. because of these things I thought that was what men wanted and I vowed that another man would never take my body again, I said to myself that I will control whom I sleep with and I began to have sex losing my viginity at age 13 to a man 6 years my elder, I found out the power of sex and I used my body to my advantage for many of years, I thought I was in control, I thought I had the better hand, I controlled when and how I was intimate with a man. I was beautiful on the outside every mans dream and I knew it to... I say that to say this, although another man never took my body from me, I realized that over the years I gave up my heart, soul, and spirit every time I layed down with a man, and today I can say that I am healed and delivered, I learned to love me, and value me, and see the beauty in me, I have been healed because GOD never gave up on me. Those days that I use to lay in my bed and Cry and ask GOD to why me, one night I heard him say why not you, and it was in those moments that I knew I had to change that what I went through was to make me stronger, to make me whole , to be a vessel for someone else. I know that GOD was with me everytime I layed down, why do I say that, because I layed down with a lot of dogs and never got up with fleas (Glory be to GOD) He saw me and he washed me and renewed me time and time again and I am so grateful for that. Now I am learning to be the whole person he has called me to become. I am a mother of 4 loving boys ages 18-10, I have to associate degrees and I am currently working on two undergrades. Thank you GOD is the first and last words out of my mouth. He has spoken to me and layed my path out and promised to keep it well lit for me.. GOD is a GOD of completion, and I know look back over my life and realize that It was his Favor, His Grace and his Mercy that has kept me and brought me so far along. GOD is completing me and everyday I awake he protects my coming and my going. He has put me around awesome women that speak his word. I realized that through everything I was missing love for self and today I can say that I love me, I am more beautiful than ever because of the light GOD has placed within me. I hope that if someone is reading this an has been through this, I want them to KNOW that GOD is MORE Than GOOD He is AWESOME THERE IS NOT ENOUGH DISCRIPTIVE WORDS TO DESCRIBE HIM. I want you to know he is REAL and he does What you ask, ask for healing, ask for wisdom, ask for forgiveness..I had to forgive the men that molested me, that raped me, in order to be healed, and i can say that today, I am healed and delivered from being my own worse enemy. and he is not done with me yet, I now know who I am, and what I am worth. and I glad for my storms..

I WAS SO IN LOVE WIT A GIRL AT LEASED I THOUGHT I WAS IN LOVE WIT HER BUT ANYWAY I FOUND OUT SHE HAD CHEATED ON ME AND I OVERDOSED AGAIN. HERE'S THE GOOD PART AFTER I GOT LOCKED UP THE LAST TIME I TOLD MYSELF THAT I MUST FIND CHRIST. I PRAYED AND I PRAYED FOR GOD TO DELIVER ME. I NOW RAP AND SING ABOUT DRUGS AND ADDICTIONS AND FINDING CHRIST. I HAVE NOT BEEN SPOTTED YET BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WILL SOON. I DON'T WANT NO YOUTH TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH NONE OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN THROUGH. OH TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD. I'VE TRIED HIM FOR MYSELF. SO IF IT'S ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT DON'T NO JESUS, TAKE MY ADVICE AND GET TO KNOW HIM. HE'S BETTER THAN ANY DRUG I'VE EVER TOOK. I GOT A HIGH NOW THAT WON'T GO DOWN CAUSE I STAY HIGH ON THE WORD.

Thank You Kirk
Thank You Kirk for finally writting this book. I can't wait to have a copy in my hands. Listening and watching you sing, conduct or talking in interviews has made me to conclude that you are a real man of God. I don't believe that struggles disqualifies us to be the great people that God created us to be. Life has never offered any of us favourable conditions or atleast most of us never had those favourable conditions, yet we are supposed to thrive and come out victoriuosly.It is very easy for one to give up or to compromise but I am inspired by your openness. It is very commendable that you still sing Gospel. I really hope to see you live one day but I am not worried as I know for sure that the day will come. i love your music and I am inspired by your personality. May God Give you more years to live man. We love and pray for you everyday. I can't wait to buy the copy of your book.
thank you
I truly look forward to reading your new book The Blueprint and thank you for your honesty. I listen to the music God has gifted you and all others you team with on a daily basis and find much comfort, joy, healing and strength in the truth sung in each song. God has truly blessed you and I thank God for you and pray for you and your family on a daily basis as well.
I grew up in a supportive Christian home and sexual addiction had been a major stronghold since I was in kindergarten up until very recently. To hear your confession and your testimony was good to hear. I am one that musicians I listen to I enjoy hearing their testimony and of course I do not worship the musician singing but worship the one we are both praising , our Heavenly Father, but to know that my brother in Christ has confessed and is working on his struggle means a lot to me as a sister in Christ and part of the body.
The sexual addiction effects so much of your life much like any other addiction. I was married for a year and found the same that you found that the addiction only became worse and my marriage struggled greatly because of it (it after a year ended in divorce). Now that I am staying away from all porn or any entertainment/relationships that brings me down and gets my mind back on it or anything that is not praiseworthy, I see how much the addiction kept me from really being blessed and feeling peace and how much it effected all my relationships negatively-most importantly my relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Before I always felt guilty and a fake and because of this I only somewhat felt freed because lies hit me hard and kept me down having me believe this addiction was me and even with Christ within (who "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."-John 8:36) I could not handle being without it.
Guilt only makes you feel more guilty and hate self and instead of getting your eyes on Christ who has freed us from all and we are more than a conqueror through, we focus on self and allow satan to feed us the lies, getting our mind off what we are and have in Christ. I wanted true freedom and to receive all God had for me and to bless others but this stronghold held me back and kept me down every day, every night-aka constant hell.
This year at 26 years old and from now on in my life I refuse to let this stronghold hold me back and keep me from all God has from me. I fight every day, every night asking God's strength and comfort and being diligent to only listen and see what is truth and giving God the glory-focusing only on good and truth and claiming God's promises and all I have and am in Christ which I see very clearly now is what I desire most and is worth my all.
Allowing the Blood of Jesus (Matthew 26:28, Ephesians 1:7, 2:13) to cover me and to keep me from all hurt, harm or danger. It truly is a battle and God has won the victory so we need not fear. One has to cut alot out of their life and alot of tv shows and music you see is no longer of worth to spend even a minute watching or listening to because it can quickly get our mind off Christ and rob our joy and peace for that minute.
It's completely worth the constant fight receiving all God's peace, joy and love He has for His children and claiming the awesome victory. For two months now since I truly claimed the promise I have not allowed any sexual sin in my life and I know now I will always be able to not allow it in even if I am single and never marry again til my last breathe. Jesus is enough and all I need to truly feel satisfied and at rest. It takes letting go of all but Christ to see this and believe that you know, that you know it is true.
God bless you and all that team with you in your ministry and I pray for all of you daily as I listen to all God has given you that blesses so many others and I know will continue to bless. Your humility, obedience and passion is evident and much appreciated building up the body and Love and Light is shown.
To God be the Glory.

Kirk,
3 comments about the Stellar awards:
1. you, as always are flawless, bu next year, you MUST coordinate the wardrobes for all presenters and performers....the theme this year must have been how 'over the top and tacky' can I possibly be?
2. Someone in gospel music HAS to take the lead to focus on the health and well being of the artists....can you say 'obesity'?
3. Is Vickie Winans a drag queen....please tell me she is....

Getting The Story Straight
When a man in Macon, Georgia came upon a wild dog attacking a young boy, he quickly grabbed the animal and throttled it with his two hands.
A reporter saw the incident, congratulated the man and told him the headline the following day would read, "Local Man Saves Child by Killing Vicious Animal."
The hero, however, told the journalist that he wasn't from Macon.
"Well, then," the reporter said, "the headline will probably say, "Georgia Man Saves Child by Killing Dog."
"Actually," the man said, "I'm from Connecticut."
"In that case," the reporter said in a huff, "the headline will read, "Yankee Kills Family Pet."
