The Letter of James Bible Study Guide

Almost three years ago, a few people asked me if I would write a study guide to the letter of James for use by individuals and small groups. As I took the time to study the text more carefully, look at the Greek and background information, I found myself discovering deeper connections and meanings than I had before and was greatly blessed personally by this in depth study. I put this all together in a book so that readers could join me in the journey through this wonderful letter. The Letter of James: Meeting the Father of Lights in the Midst of Our Darkness is finally available in print.

The book is unique in that it combines manuscript study, study questions, commentary, study notes and group discussion guides. I put this together in a way that matches just what I've been doing for years in leading Bible studies. So, it encourages lots of interaction with the text but it also provides plenty of background information to help us hear the real message of James.

You can read here the introduction to the book to get an idea of my approach to Bible study. You can also look through one of the chapters to get a feel for the how the studies work and help us dig deep into James's wonderful message. James helps us see see more clearly the triune God in a way that feeds our faith which actually does enable us to go through the trials of life with his peace and joy.

Thanks,
Cathy
