Publisher Description
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 on provocative topics including:
The true definition of manhood
Deadbeat dads, divorce, and other sources of despair in family life
Why faith that only takes place in a church is dead
The consequences of sex and the responsibilities of parenthood
His own identity as a son, father, husband, singer, and African-American
What it means to be a “Christian moderate with swag” in the 21st century
Customer Reviews
Great work!
I was overwhelmed by the depth of wisdom and truth that was shared in this book. I really appreciated Kirk's voice as a believer and Black man to come through honestly, clearly and powerfully. He didn't speak with church-ease. He spoke to topics that are real and relevant. It's is a great book for young adults pursuing their walk with the Lord, trying to overcome the obstacles in their lives. I bought 4 more copies to share with others. Great book.
Life Changing
I am a better man, father and Christian after reading this book. Every man needs this book.
