The book of James is much loved for its wisdom and practical instruction on living the Christian life. James, who was the half brother of Jesus, wrote this epistle to teach his readers about walking faithfully with Christ in the midst of life’s struggles.
In this 10-week Bible study for women, Lydia Brownback explores James verse by verse, addressing trials and temptations, the relationship between faith and good works, and choosing the wisdom of God over the wisdom of the world. Written for individuals and groups, each lesson helps women understand how to recognize marks of genuine godliness by faithfully and practically living for Christ. Brownback desires that readers of this study will meditate on Scripture and find a renewed zeal for discipleship and walking closely with the Lord.
