Faith That Works

Featuring

Description

James is a book about real faith for real people. A book that shows it’s no good simply holding to a set of theoretical beliefs - James demands that faith must be put to work. Drawing from Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount and driving the same themes home with vivid pictures, the challenge of James is not understanding what it says but putting it into practice.
