While there are not many additional details about the book, the website of publisher Harper Collins reveals it will be released in October under Religion, Self-Help and Business & Economics categories. The minister and producer, who is married to Christian actress Meagan Good, is no stranger to Hollywood with production credits for films like "Heaven Is for Real," "The Karate Kid" and "The Pursuit of Happyness" under his belt.
He previously spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about merging his Christian faith and Hollywood career.
"The more I started embracing the ministry side, the more it actually added to my career in Hollywood," Franklin told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year. "Knowing what challenges people are facing and then working on movies that can address those real-life issues gave me a path in this business."
According to the author who has also written books Produced By Faith and The Wait, God placed him in Hollywood for a reason.
"I believe that God put me in this business," he told THR. "I don't preach in the halls, but a sermon can be in how I answer the phone. Ministry is how you live."
