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.
