James: The Case for Practical Christianity

by Kurt Trucksess

Life is filled with cancer, financial disaster, depression, the rejection of someone we love, and lingering health issues. If God loves us, why doesn’t he care enough to protect us? In the biblical book of James, we find the answer. It is because God loves us. For the Christian, trials bring spiritual maturity, something that is worth more than anything this world can offer.In this series, we learn how to navigate our trials and receive the maturity God intends for us. With each trial, there is a path of obedience, which leads to maturity. Next to the path of obedience, an alternate path will always be present. This is the temptation to sin in our trial. This path derails the maturity God offers to give. In this book, we learn how to steer clear of the sinful temptations, which every trial offers. We learn how to face one of the most audacious trials, financial loss. We learn what to do when we find ourselves in the slough of despondency because we can not imagine God’s good purpose in our present difficulties. Are you in the middle of a trial? The biblical book of James has honest answers to your questions about how to make it through.

This is a wonderful book that changed my attitude a lot. I have saving faith today. The book of James is all about practical christianity indeed and Dr Kurt greatly helped me look through each verse with the lens of a believer. It is so easy to get what you want to listen that makes you feel good but very few pastors and authors do justice to the word of God by helping you see the un-altered word of God without applying any filters.

I greatly recommend this book for a small group bible study. It is much more better to go through his book with family!
