James Your Brother: Studies in the Epistle of James

How well do you know the Epistle of James? If, like the author of this book, your study has emphasized other portions of Scripture, you will want this helpful book. Dr. Strauss feels that his ministry has been enriched by his detailed study of James, and he writes with joy on this epistle about everyday Christianity. At last justice has been done to the work of "James the Just."

Above all, James is practical. Dr. Strauss points out the message in this epistle for all believers — faith without works is dead; a Christian is known by his fruits; we must be doers of the Word, not hearers only.

In a series of discussions that comfort the heart and give renewed strength, the author shows the irrefutable logic of this great letter to Christians under fire. He deals with patience through tribulation, wisdom through prayer, riches through poverty. Then he talks of life through the Word, judgment through divine law, security through submission, patience through the Parousia (Second Coming), and ends with help and healing through prayer and praise. Surely, those who serve the Father of Lights must do so with all their hearts.
