Reed, Frank
Synopsis "Frankly Speaking... Four Decades on the Air and Off a Memoir"
Frank Reed and I share a long history together. For over 20 years it's always been a pleasure to join Frank on the radio, or have him introduce me in concert. He's been a supportive friend and the consummate professional. I always love when Frank shares his stories and now they're all captured here, in 'Frankly Speaking.' His journey through secular radio, to finding Christ, his wife Patti, and his on air 'home' at KLTY in Dallas-Ft. Worth. It's an address I hope he keeps for years to come! Within these pages you have the opportunity to look into the heart of the man behind the microphone, my good friend Frank Reed. Steven Curtis Chapman, Nashville, Tennessee I've always known that Frank had a way with words. For twenty-plus years I've laughed and cried as his rich voice inspired and informed listeners of all ages on KLTY Radio in Dallas. So it's no surprise that the man who has held my attention behind the microphone carried that same authenticity and character to the written page. Yet, here I found more to the man than just the incredible 'radio' voice-celebrity. In the pages of his book, I found a jazzy wordsmith willing to share his authentic and sometimes painful journey. And once again, I found myself laughing, crying, and learning as he shared his journey of career, family, and faith. At some point, (as is often the case with many of my morning drives listening) I found myself wishing it didn't have to end so soon. Dan Dean, Phillips, Craig and Dean, Colleyville, Texas 'Frankly Speaking', A Memoir, is the personal life journey of Dallas-Ft. Worth radio personality Frank Reed. From his humble beginnings in Kissimmee, Florida, to the halls of Rockefeller Plaza in New York where he worked on the air between Don Imus and Howard Stern, to his current radio address at KLTY in North Texas, Reed shares the adventures, stories and insights that led to the spiritual truths that now guide his life. 'Frankly Speaking' is very much like listening to Frank Reed on the radio; it is friendly, warm, and welcoming. "What I've concluded is God is looking for willing hearts, not perfect people."
