Under the weight of America's racial history, church traditions, and cultural pressures, Lecrae found himself trapped in the belief that he had to earn his freedom or prove his right to be on the stage, or even in the pews of a church. As he learns to shed these old ways of thinking, Lecrae beckons you to step out of the beliefs that are holding you captive and to reconstruct your faith. Within this inspirational collection of poetry and essays, you will experience: - Raw, lyrical expressions of what it means to be unfree in America - Confessional essays explaining Lecrae's personal journey to claim his freedom and his faith - Empowering words to help heal your wounded soul - A testimony of God's unfailing love and eternal acceptance This book is perfect for: - Followers of Jesus who feel disillusioned or who are deconstructing from their church experience - Spiritual seekers who feel on the outside of modern religious institutions - Fans of Lecrae's music and album art This dynamically designed collection is perfect to display on a coffee table or shelf. Provocative, vulnerable, convicting, and inspiring, Set Me Free is a poetry collection for our time.
