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!
