By R. Kent Hughes, Series edited by R. Kent Hughes

... Show All

The epistle of James is perhaps the most practical—and most convicting—book of the entire New Testament. It is a marvelous exposition of the outworking of genuine Christian faith. True faith works!

In this sixth volume of the Preaching the Word series, Pastor Hughes combines relevant discussion with practical application of the book of James. Major themes include:

  •     joyful endurance in times of trial
  •     true wisdom
  •     recognizing and resisting temptation in a tempting world
  •     beyond knowing the Word of God: doing
  •     the telltale signs of real faith
  •     perils of the tongue
  •     humility and grace
  •     the divine prescription for healing
  •     the prayer of the righteous

Part of the Preaching the Word series.
