In this small but stirring book, James, a pillar of the early church, writes to people displaced by persecution and civil unrest. His message to new believers is simple and profound. Faith in Jesus impacts every area of life. James doesn’t pull punches. He gets right into real struggles like temptations, anger, and hypocrisy. Grown-up faith in Jesus should bring consistency and steadiness in the way we live and talk, so that we may be "mature and complete, not lacking anything" (James 1:4b)
