We are currently studying the book of James using the Life Lessons study guide by Max Lucado.
The book of James was written by James, the oldest half-brother of Jesus. James was an early influential church leader focused on reaching lost Jews.
James was one of the first books written in the New Testament, around 49 AD. It is a How-To book on Christian living, sometimes referred to as the Proverbs of the New Testament for its practical application.
This book is very non-hypocritical, very hard-hitting, and very straight-forward. It was written to the persecuted Jews who left Jerusalem and were living among the Gentiles.
Sum it up: LIVE YOUR FAITH - DON'T BE HYPOCRITES!!
