The Epistle of James is one of the most-loved books in the New Testament. We are drawn to its simplicity and practicality. James assumes that we understand how our salvation has been provided through the sacrifice of Jesus. He provides practical answers to, “What now?”

Lamar Bowman helps us explore a new view of ourselves and of those around us. He challenges us to dig deeply into our relationship with God and to climb off the fences of compromise that we love to straddle.
