In a heartbreaking moment that reverberated through the very soul of America, a young black man named Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back by a white police officer. The aftershocks of this incident engulfed Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the shooting occurred, in violence. As the nation bore
witness to this tragic event, passing judgment and choosing sides, Jacob's mother, Julia Jackson, boldly challenged the prevailing narratives that threatened to divide the nation. On national television, she prayerfully begged America to practice forgiveness and turn its eyes toward God.
In this poignant memoir, Julia delves into the private torment and spiritual fortitude that unfolded away from the public eye, addressing the weighty questions that continue to haunt America-questions of racism, justice, and the enduring strength of faith in the bleakest of hours. With a heart brimming with compassion in the name of Jesus, Jackson pens an impassioned plea for surrender to Christ. For those tormented by the ever-widening chasms within our society and in their souls, this book emerges as a compass, guiding the way toward healing and forgiveness.
