The book of James is sometimes called the Proverbs of the New Testament. So, that is what I decided to call this series. James was one of Jesus’ brothers and was very familiar with His teachings. That is the basic theme of the book of James.
This is a very in depth study. I encourage you to take your time and get the most our of it!
