ATLANTA — November 10, 2025 — Best known for reshaping the sound and soul of Christian hip-hop with unapologetic authenticity, GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, author, activist, and investor Lecrae is now bringing that same raw honesty to the page. His new book Set Me Free: The Good News of God’s Relentless Pursuit (Zondervan Gift Books; ISBN 9780310460923), arrives December 2nd, offering a deeply personal collection of poems and essays about identity, healing, and liberation through faith.

 

In the book, Lecrae writes with the same lyrical conviction that has defined his music, exploring what it means to wrestle with shame, embrace grace, and walk in true spiritual freedom. Through a blend of poetic meditations and confessional reflections, he invites readers into his journey of dismantling false expectations, reclaiming purpose, and finding peace in God’s love.

 

“I know what it’s like to wear chains you can’t see. I wanted to put words to the process of breaking them, so others know they’re not alone in rebuilding their lives.”

 

Lecrae takes the themes he’s known for, justice, faith, and wholeness, and pushes them

further, offering raw insight for anyone wrestling with belonging, doubt, and hope.

 

Set Me Free is for:

• Readers craving bold, faith-rooted storytelling

• Fans of Lecrae’s music and cultural voice

• Anyone ready to break free from shame, brokenness, or identity struggles

 

“True freedom,” Lecrae says, “isn’t the absence of scars but the courage to let them tell the story of how you were rebuilt, trusting that redemption is big enough for us all.”

 

Set Me Free is available for preorder now wherever books are sold.
