James: Shoe Leather Faith
A powerful 64-day devotional study of the letter of James
“The Scriptures must at times challenge what we believe and feel. The words of God not only heal and restore us, but they at times cut right into the core of our being, into the revealing of our hidden motives.”
Alan Hoare’s infectious enthusiasm for digging deeper into God’s word is evident throughout this powerful 64-day devotional study of the letter of James. As he explains James’ teachings on difficult subjects such as trials and suffering, faith and action, wealth and poverty, anger and jealousy, you will find yourself at once refreshed and challenged in your daily walk.
