Donnie McClurkin shares his own personal pain in order to help someone else. What an inspiration to see someone who went through what he went through come out on top. This just goes to show that you can make it no matter how hard your struggle is. This is why God lets us go through different trails and tribulations. When we prevail, we can tell the story and help someone else. The music is a blessing and it speaks directly to your heart. Pastor Donnie really did come from darkness into the light. His guests will bless you and refresh your soul. I highly reccomend this item to you.

My spirit connected with Donnie McClurkin's when I first heard of him on his first solo CD in 2001. Songs like "Stand" and "Have a Talk with Jesus" lifted me above my cares during a very trying time in my life. Somehow I knew Donnie was singing from his heart. He was not just making good music, he was commisserating with the Lord whether 'we' were getting it or not. I saw him at Hopeville in San Diego a few years ago and the electricity in the room made me stand up and shout to the Lord. It was the most amazing corporate worship experience I ever had up to that point. This DVD gave insight to the reason why Donnie praises and worships the Lord the way he does. He has a testimony that will encourage and inspire any of us who have a 'past' that satan wants to use to hold us down. God has a greater purpose for His creation and He will use every experience we go through to that end if we place ourselves in His hands. He is the 'recovery' hurting people need. It is a wonderful, unashamed 'life story' that Donnie shares with us on this DVD. It can encourage anyone, no matter what you've been through or have done, that you can get back up again. God bless Donnie McClurkin for sharing this very open, honest, poignant testimony of his life and deliverance.
