Unashamed

There is so much I would like to say about this book. I would love to drop a bunch of quotes that have challenged me to see the world differently. Instead I will challenge others to read this book. Even those who are not fans of Lecrae or hip hop.

I often avoid autobiographies of people whose work I follow because I've been disappointed to read those that don't sound authentic, or are getting to please a certain reader. This was not the case here. Lecrae feels authentic here. The book would not have much power without that authenticity.

I would read this book again. I wouldn't hesitate to share this with a youth or young adult who is struggling and looking for answers. Some may find Lecrae's past as license to live large until ready to settle down with Jesus. I found it to be a great message of hope, that we don't have to continue to live in darkness and despair.
