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

Average: 4.7 (27 votes)

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.

WHEN YOU SEE AN EXPERIENCED MAN SAYING SOMETHING, YOU BETTER LISTEN. WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE THAT HAS A WEALTH OF EXPERIECE, DONT HARDEN YOUR HEART. BECAUSE HE WOULD'NT ONLY BE THEORETICAL BUT PRGMATIC.

I CANNOT WAIT TO LAY MY HANDS ON THIS MASTERPEICE.

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.

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.

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....

Have a blessed day Mr Franklin. Please come to Boston one day soon.

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."
