James: Portrait of a Living Faith

by Jon Nielson

The book of James rewards thoughtful study, overflowing with literary simplicity and theological depth. Moreover, it contains the wisdom of God for daily life and points to Christ as the Lord of the church and the giver of grace. Designed for groups and individuals, this Reformed Expository Bible Study gives users the resources they need to delve into God's Word and understand and apply it for themselves, leading to biblical transformation. Background information and commentary lay the groundwork before readers observe and analyze the Scripture text. Each of the thirteen lessons makes connections to the rest of the Bible and to Reformed theology before concluding with a section for personal application and a prayer prompt.

4.5/5.

Often very thoughtful and appropriate questions here. Useful particularly for college to adult age range, but I adopted the discussion questions with a few tweaks for a middle-high school context.
Would recommend this for an individual or group study of James.
