The Book ofJames
New Testament · Book 59 of 66 · 5 chapters · 108 verses
James, the Lord's brother, writes the New Testament's wisdom book — blunt, practical, allergic to empty religion. Ask God for wisdom and He gives generously; faith without works is dead; the tongue is a fire; and the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
Wisdom for the askingFaith that worksTaming the tonguePatience in trialsPowerful prayer
