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.
