James

By Gigi Busa, Ruth Fobes, The Navigators

Discover the practices of faith and wisdom that will help you grow up into Christ's character.

Going beyond fill-in-the-blanks

Whereas some may just want to fill in the blanks and be done with it, this study allows those with a more intense bent to investigate many of the corner issues that a study of James raises. The margins provide suggestions for additional study and context and discussion questions which are enough to keep a small home group discussion going all night. Of course the life application questions always require the most effort but the suggested regular group discussions make the process a little easier for the uninitiated. This study works well for a group comprising both those new to Christianity and those versed in the Christian disciplines. As always, Navpress has done a good job of meeting the stated goals of this study guide.

Great bible study

The women's group at my church has just started using this book, but so far we really love it. There are very good thought provoking questions and great questions to foster openness and sharing within the group. It's a good balance of studying the word and finding application. I feel like it's a little more "user friendly" than the NavPress Life Change series. I highly recommend it.
