More Description
“This is a unique approach to becoming a better, more loving, and stronger You.”
WORD(S), Volume 1 is a collection of contemporary poems with unique perspectives written by author Christopher O. James as a self-help study guide for teens and adults. The poetry, which stands alone as engaging literature, is combined with scriptures to guide the reader in further bible study and journal pages to write down prayers and the reader’s own reflections. Through creative poetry James offers an unrestrained look at real life, relationships, faith, failure, forgiveness, confidence, truth, salvation, fun, benevolence and Jesus Christ’s love. Challenging and inspiring poetry encourages readers to build a more committed, faithful and genuine personal relationship with God and raises the bar on the standard to love others.

Awesome
Awesome sounds fresher than amazing,
But both describe just how you are.
Courageous is what you have made me.
Despite all my battle scars.
Each time I come to you with a problem,
Forever you promise to solve them.
Given my tendency to fall into sin,
How does your holiness offer forgiveness again?
It’s your love, so compassionate, complete and true.
Jesus brought grace and paid justice as a gift to the living.
Kindness in action, well beyond what man would do.
Love from God is so enduring, merciful and forgiving…
