After spending two months in a juvenile detention center for a crime he did not commit, seventeen-year-old Andre Jackson returns home and tries to adapt to a Covid-19 world and find his missing best friend.

Kim Johnson has written inspirational poetry for over 20 years. When Kim was a young adult, she had a fear of public speaking due to the criticism she received about her speech. She regarded her fear as a challenge she could overcome by performing her poetry as monologues. And that is what she did! She performed her poetic monologues for religious events and her confidence began to grow. And before long, she had amassed a collection of poems and years of experience performing in front of large audiences. Hence, An Inspired Voice was born and is now Kim's first-published book. Filled with faith-based poems, An Inspired Voice takes you on a journey of praise and worship. Does your praise and worship to God tend to lack because you are overwhelmed by the challenges you encounter in your life? Is your faith tested beyond what you think you can handle? If so, you are not alone. Kim faced those same challenges. Inspired by her past experiences, Kim wrote every poem with compassion to encourage you to strengthen your faith and overcome your challenges. Kim also uses her past experiences to explain why each poem was written and to elicit your praise and worship to God.After reading An Inspired Voice, you should understand why praising and worshiping God is not an option, but a requirement to strengthen your faith and relationship with God. If there is a day when you are uncertain if you can overcome your challenges, take a quick moment to read a poem from within An Inspired Voice and you will be encouraged to change your mind. Sometimes all that is needed is a quick reminder of God's love, mercy and grace!

"Life can change in an instant. When you're wrongfully accused of a crime. When a virus shuts everything down. When the girl you love moves on. Andre Jackson is determined to reclaim his identity. But returning from juvie doesn't feel like coming home. His Portland, Oregon, neighborhood is rapidly gentrifying, and COVID-19 shuts down school before he can return. And Andre's suspicions about his arrest for a crime he didn't commit even taint his friendships. It's as if his whole life has been erased. The one thing Andre is counting on is his relationship with the Whitaker kids--especially his longtime crush, Sierra. But Sierra's brother Eric is missing, and the facts don't add up as their adoptive parents fight to keep up the act that their racially diverse family is picture-perfect. If Andre can find Eric, he just might uncover the truth about his own arrest. But in a world where power is held by a few and Andre is nearly invisible, searching for the truth is a dangerous game."--

The Wisdom of Abortion discusses the reasons a woman chooses abortion. It shows the immediate positive consequences of the abortion choice, as well as the long-term benefits - for the woman, for her children, for her family, and for her country. After a detailed account of what science says (and doesn't say) about fetal development, The Wisdom of Abortion debunks some popular myths about abortion and religion. It also has practical advice for the woman who is actively considering abortion.There are many scholarly books, many anti-abortion books, and many books that give advice about how to "heal" and become "whole" again.

Rather, they wisely choose what's best for them and their family. (60% of women who choose abortion have one or more children to support).Too often, the wisdom of their decision is ignored.
