Grammy WInner Kirk Franklin At Stonecrest Mall On May 18, 2010

For some people, obstacles are minor bumps in the road on the way to success. For others, obstacles represent a major catastrophe of epic proportions threatening to disrupt any chance of success they may have otherwise had. But for seven-time Grammy award winner Kirk Franklin, who will appear at the Mall at Stonecrest on Tuesday, May 18th at 7 pm, obstacles represent the challenges needed to propel you through life.

In THE BLUEPRINT: A Plan for Living Above Life’s Storms, Franklin reveals how he turned negative aspects from his own life—drugs, an absent father, teenage parenthood, poverty, etc.—into blessings by learning from them and moving forward. Fans are cordially invited to meet Kirk Franklin up close and personal with purchase of his new book, THE BLUEPRINT from Borders Stonecrest. Proof of purchase is required. First come, first serve. Each guest in line must have a book to meet Mr. Franklin.
