Living By Faith : Practical Lessons from the Epistle of James

Description of Living By Faith:

Dr. J. Vernon McGee turns to the Epistle of James to present very practical lessons on Christian living. The subject of James is faith. The Epistle of James “pinches,” says Dr. McGee. It “hurts you because he gets right down to where we are living—or, more accurately, to where we’re not living.” He challenges believers to a faith that works and walks in shoe leather. Because James emphasizes the ethics of the Christian faith, Dr. McGee uses the metaphor of “God’s University.” When life presents us with “quizzes” or “tests,” Dr. McGee explains, the believer need not worry because James has provided us not only with the test questions, but also the answers. Chapters cover such relevant topics as: gossiping, worldly versus heavenly wisdom, the testing of faith through trials, God’s condemnation of class distinctions, confession and forgiveness of sins, effective prayer, faith versus works, resisting the devil, and finding the meaning of life.

Description of J. Vernon Mcgee, author of Living By Faith:

In this book, trusted Bible teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee explores the Epistle of James as God's University, which offers practical and down-to-earth advice. "The fact of the matter is, I know of no Epistle that pinches like the Epistle of James. He hurts us," writes Dr. McGee, "because he gets right down to where we are living--or probably, I should say where we're not living." Although James wrote his letter many years ago, it is packed with modern-day lessons about living the Christian life. Topics such as gaining godly wisdom, the value of confession, handling temptations, finding your purpose, and so much more give you the tools and inspiration to grow in your faith. "The child of God enters a life of faith the moment that he trusts Christ, and that is the great theme that God teaches in His university." Don't be content with anything less than a vibrant, enthusiastic relationship with God. With help from this book, you can discover the compelling, life-changing faith in Him that you so desire!
