"Life Passion: Words Inspire Our Desire" is an inspiring collection of poetry and short stories offering an alternative view of God and religion. Author Mark Gregory Washer gives a fresh perspective on life and God's expectations of how we should live a spiritual life. He talks about the difference between right and wrong, both on a personal level along and with a more global approach. Many of the meditations offered in "Life Passion" are based upon Washer's personal life experiences. From the sights and sounds of the romantic city of Odessa to fond memories of his great-grandmother, he envelopes himself in the spirituality of his life stories. Washer also considers the various religious writings and doctrines that bolster his strong religious beliefs. He offers a simpler view into God's will that makes it more accessible to everyone, and he explores the timeless question so many ask: "Why am I here?" "From "Only Words" Words can heal Words can hurt Words can make you lose your shirt Words are more Words are less In this deadly game of chess Words will lose Words will win Words will cause your soul to sin Does anyone hear me when I say I can't take another day Does anyone care when I shout Now it's time to let me out"
