The Epistle of James is the most practical book of the Bible. Every word in the epistle is directly relevant to contemporary living, offering lessons about life drawn from life?topics such as riches and poverty, speech and anger, faith and works, patience and hope. James's pastoral counsel is eminently and profoundly practical, relevant to any time, place and circumstance?as useful today as when first offered nearly 2,000 years ago. Practical Faith and Active Love: Meditations on the Epistle of James offers brief, insightful, probing meditations addressing the challenges and crises of life.
