James

Live what you believe. How can we be faithful friends of God like Abraham? Can we resist the pressures of the world, our rebellious human impulses, and the influence of the devil? Can Christians live together in peace as we seek solutions to life's problems? James addresses these issues in his letter as he seeks to motivate Christians to develop a mature and consistent faith and to show how Christians can have loyal friendship with God and with one another. These 13 lessons for personal and group explorations include the complete text, study notes, and features from the NLT Study Bible and guide you in conversation with God.
