Summary
Summary
If you live for people's acceptance, you'll die from their rejection. Two-time Grammy winning rap artist, Lecrae, learned this lesson through more than his share of adversity—childhood abuse, drugs and alcoholism, a stint in rehab, an abortion, and an unsuccessful suicide attempt. Along the way, Lecrae attained an unwavering faith in Jesus and began looking to God for affirmation. Now as a chart-topping industry anomaly, he has learned to ignore the haters and make peace with his craft. The rap artist holds nothing back as he divulges the most sensitive details of his life, answers his critics, shares intimate handwritten journal entries, and powerfully models how to be Christian in a secular age. This is the story of one man's journey to faith and freedom.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“This is the amazing story of how one brilliant young artist, my friend Lecrae, transformed a powerful music style into a tool for sharing God’s love, fulfilling God’s purposes, and glorifying God’s name. I love and respect Lecrae because of his authenticity and his courage…I promise you, regardless of the kind of music you listen to, you’ll love this book.” —Rick Warren, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Lecrae Moore’s raw approach to writing and rapping is expressed through his reading style of his autobiography. As a professional hip-hop artist, he knows how much work it takes to recount a true story that is stranger than fiction. As a man who now strives to be real with both God and people, he narrates in an honest tone, allowing his fear and anger and loneliness and longing for acceptance to pour through his voice such that the listener’s emotions will also rise and fall with each failure and success he recounts. Moore’s authentically unpolished reading draws listeners into his life, making this audio experience far more enjoyable than simply reading the book in print.” —AudioFile
“Lecrae’s story is as real as it gets. The rawness, pain, and brutal honesty make it a tremendously gripping read, but the sheer beauty of his journey to redemption makes it something you’ll want to share with others, and I certainly hope you will. This book will change lives.” —Eric Metaxas, New York Times bestselling author
