Kirk Cameron's children's book about humility released just in time for Pride Month



Kirk Cameron's new children's book, which is meant to teach kids about humility, was scheduled for release on June 1, the day that marks the beginning of the annual month-long celebration of the LGBT movement known as Pride Month.

Cameron's aptly titled "Pride Comes Before the Fall" marks his second kids' book with Brave Books.

"BRAVE Books has partnered with Kirk Cameron to write a second book, Pride Comes Before the Fall. Officially releasing June 1, Pride Comes Before the Fall is a Christian, children's book that teaches kids the dangers of being prideful and the importance of having a humble spirit instead," the Brave Books website states.

During an interview with Jennifer Oliver O'Connell, Cameron, who is widely known for his time acting on the television show "Growing Pains," said that he "had a personal problem with pride" and "struggled with pride growing up."

"It was the value ... of the kindness and grace of God that humbled me," Cameron explained. He said that he learned "it is better ... to focus on God and loving your neighbor than to focus on self-exaltation and self-expression."

Each year of his presidency so far, President Joe Biden has proclaimed June as Pride Month and urged Americans "to wave their flags of pride high."

The White House currently has a Pride Month graphic posted on social media, as does the U.S. Navy.

"June 1 marks the start of 'ME MONTH,' also known as 'Pride Month.' Pride is the deadliest of the seven deadly sins, so rather than glorify it, I'm calling on all God-fearing Americans to shift their focus to the life-giving virtue of humility. That's what my brand-new book is about!" Cameron tweeted. "This book teaches children the importance of humility and serving others through a story they will love."

Death of 38-year-old Bengals offensive analyst Adam Zimmer ruled to be related to alcohol use



The death earlier this year of 38-year-old Cincinnati Bengals offensive analyst Adam Zimmer has been ruled to be related to alcohol use.

According to the Star Tribune, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office has indicated that the cause of the man's death was "complications of chronic ethanol use disorder."

Ethanol "is the intoxicating agent in liquors," according to merriam-webster.com.

On the heels of the death earlier this year, one of Zimmer's his sisters, Corri Zimmer White, made a post on Instagram in which she described her brother Adam Zimmer as "the kindest, sweetest, family loving, sports obsessed soul there ever was."

Zimmer was the son of former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer — the Vikings dumped Mike Zimmer and much of the man's staff, including his son Adam, after the 2021 season, according to the Star Tribune.

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins described Adam Zimmer as a "tremendous coach & person," in a tweet earlier this year. "Had the privilege of sitting next to him flying back from games. Learned so much. Praying for the Zimmer family," Cousins noted.

"Disregard the familial connection. It's really just about him being a good coach," former Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway told the Associated Press earlier this year. "It wouldn’t have mattered who the head coach was. Adam was a good coach no matter what."

"He was respectful of the game and the career that I had before that he got there," Greenway noted, according to the outlet. "He was always working with you and not coaching at you, always trying to make the individual better and the team better. He was really smart when it came to the scheme, but more importantly he was a great person who always cared about you as a person."

Grammy-winning gospel star Kirk Franklin issues apology after expletive-laden rant and insults at his son during heated argument



Kirk Franklin, 51-year-old Grammy award-winning gospel superstar and choir director, has issued an impassioned apology after his adult son, Kerrion, shared shocking audio reported to feature his father swearing at and insulting him.

The audio, according to Kerrion, was taken from a telephone conversation that the two recently had.

What's a brief history here?

Kerrion shared the footage on his social media page over the weekend, writing, "This is why I'm done. No father should speak to their children like this. If I have any issues it's because of this type of treatment that [I] deal with behind closed doors. Hanging up in my face, No apology, no compassion, no effort. Stop telling me to go home to my family I don't even know where they live."

He continued, "I don't think I'll ever trust my father to be alone around him ever again. I didn't want to do this. I probably won't release the entire recording because it's too embarrassing that I'm even dealing with this. No matter what ppl think I pray my dad deals with his deep hatred toward me. I don't feel safe around him at all. This recording is recent it is not from 2018 just to clarify. Im going to learn from these experiences, live my life in peace and make beautiful art."

In the recording, Kirk can be heard telling Kerrion, "You need to get your skinny motherf***ing ass back out the goddamn way before I put my foot in your ass."

"I will break your neck if you ever disrespect me," he added.

Kerrion can be heard responding, "'I'll break your neck.' Is that a threat?"

(Content warning: Rough language):

What are the details?

Kirk on Saturday issued an apology on Twitter.

In a now-viral video, Kirk said, "Many of you know that I have an older son named Kerrion Franklin. In May he'll be 33. For many years we have had a toxic relationship with him as a family."

In the video, Kirk said that he and Kerrion — as well as other members of the family — have sought counseling in an attempt to "rectify this private family matter."

"Recently my son and I had an argument that he chose to record," Kirk added. "I felt extremely disrespected in that conversation and I lost my temper and I said words that are not appropriate and I am sincerely sorry to all of you. I sincerely apologize."

He concluded, "I'm not perfect. I'm human and I'm gonna make mistakes and I'm trying to get it right. Please keep me and your family in your prayers."
