Lecrae On His New Book Unashamed

Lecrae recently released a new book “Unashamed” sharing stories and lessons he’s learned throughout his life:unashamedlecraehardcover

“If you live for people’s acceptance, you’ll die from their rejection.”

Two-time Grammy winning hip-hop 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 hip-hop 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.

“My prayer is that you’ll make music too. Maybe not with your voice, and maybe not on a stage, but hopefully with your life.” – Lecrae

I love this interview Lecrae did with Priscilla Shirer on her show, check out what he says about being labeled a Christian artist, overcoming abuse as a child and his views on life and faith issues:
