“I invite you to share my experience with God through this republication of my first book of poetry, based on turbulent events that culminated with the death of George Floyd…while gathering a glimpse into my next body of work, Back-to-the-Beginning: Volume 1 – The Things He Said.” – words from the author.
“Summer of 2020” by KYSMetrist is a personal and spiritual reflection of the author on the events surrounding the racial and social justice movements that occurred in the summer of 2020. From June to August 2020, the author began posting daily words inspired by biblical readings and current events, such as the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, as well as the larger Black Lives Matter movement.
The book challenges the readers to examine their lives and reflect on their relationship with God and the current social movements. The author emphasizes the importance of connecting with divine justice, which she connects with Jesus, and encourages Christians to identify and actively embrace justice in their lives.
Justice fears God. Justice keeps His commandments.
