 Bye This CD July 21, 2008
I love this CD! I usually buy Kirk Franklin for my 16 yr old nephew, but this time it is MINE! Kirk is truely anointed and very inspirational. He speaks to the young person in you and helps you to be able to heal old wombs. Awesome CD!

I love this album so much! I have always been on the Kirk Franklin team, and I've always enjoyed his music! However, "The Fight of My Life" absolutely took my breath away! I love EVERY song on this album! The lyrics are beautiful; the message of Christ is clear; the music is on point! I am curious to see how Kirk will top this! He absolutely floored me with this one and left me speechless!
I love this CD!!! June 22, 2008
I'm am such a fan of this cd. It has everything on it. I was quite reserved when I heard Toby Mac was on here then I listened to that track oh man!! What a blessing! This entire CD is so tastefully done. There is something on it for everyone. EVERYONE!!! No matter what your style is.
I hope all who purchase this cd will be touched by the words that were gathered to compile this cd.

Ok I will be the first to say I did not care for this cd. I am a fan of Kirk but this one is not one of my favorite. There are only 4 songs I like which are, "Declaration, Jesus, A Whole Nation, Still".
Maybe it is a CD that I will have to listen to a few times. For certain, there are a few songs I will automatically fast forward.
A brash bass-weighty track, posturing May 31, 2008
A brash bass-weighty track, posturing on the street corners of the genre - check out `Little Boy'. A positive confession is here with `Declaration - This Is It, affirming the faint'. A pensive ballad makes a show with `Help Me Believe'. Oh, and a churchy piano ballad features in `He Will Supply'. And with the above mentioned songs all done by track 7, you'll know it's definitely Kirk. He is now well established as the elder statesman in his field and there's a sincerity and maturity that exceeds previous recent albums. And I do sense a more powerful anointing, especially in the lyrics department.
I do like `How It Used To Be' though it sounds strangely familiar. `I Am God' is on the crossover rock tip. `It Would Take All Day' is sweet enough but not as tasty as `Still In Love' with a 1980s feel, reminiscent of the innocent funk cuts made for radio. The jazz/gospel slow-mo `Chains' sits well in either foreground or background. And throughout the album Kirk's spoken vocals are kept fairly low and are helpfully unobtrusive to proceedings.
Yes, there are several flags that shout `Franklin' at us but this is an extension of the fare one might expect of him. There are some new pointers and ideas, all backed up lyrically and sprinkled with a dusting of sincerity. This is Kirk taking a step back and letting his girlie choir get on with it, with results
