The Epistle of James is an intensely practical book for readers of every age. James' original audience had professed faith in Christ, but many were not living lives that reflected their beliefs. To address this disparity, James dealt with real-world issues that still speak to us today. This series looks at the background, structure and content of the book of James and explores the wisdom and practical instruction in James that remain relevant for modern readers.

Greatness is achieved by living a life of discipline, and discipline is not achieved without rules. This stimulating study reminds us that it comes down to our choices. We have to give up our old, disarrayed life and live a disciplined, structured life. It does not happen at a moment’s notice – it’s a lifelong process.

James’ letter to the church is loved for the practical advice it offers us. But there is something much greater in James’ letter: good news about a God who saves.

From the moment a child enters our life, parenting is a tough job. It’s even harder when a child is struggling with difficult behaviors. Parenting a child in crisis leaves parents worn out from exhaustion, frustration, and fear. God doesn’t leave us, even in the midst of our fears, failures, and fatigue. For foster and adoptive parents, or any battle-weary parent in warfare for their child.
