I really appreciated this study of the book of James. It is thorough, and for those willing to do the additional questions in the margins, it is challenging - and potentially life-changing! If you read and re-read James aloud, and also copy it over and over as you go through this study, you will become "quick to hear" the Lord. I suggest copying it from several different translations/versions. The study makes personal application practically inescapable, for someone who will honestly consider the Scriptures and ask the Holy Spirit for enlightenment. A short letter (108 verses), James can seem simple - but this study, if done with prayer, diligence and commitment, can take you below the seeming simplicity on the surface, and move you deeper and deeper into profound yet practical truths.

This study was thorough and thought provoking. I took my time to get the most out of it, answering not only the 9-12 questions per chapter but also exploring the optional "For Further Study" and "For Thought and Discussion" questions. This study guide helped me understand James' letter and taught me how to apply it to my own life. And if that weren't enough, this study guide also includes many "Study Skills" that explain things like outlining, application, cross reference, paraphrasing etc. Now I can use what I learned from those study skills to get the most out of each Bible book I choose to study.

Always find the Life Change Series reliable and helpful. Leads to good discussion. Appreciate the extra questions and applications at the side of the pages.

Our study group has always found Life Change Bible studies to be an excellent source for understanding Scripture. We have found the discussion questions to be very insightful and help us dig a little deeper into the Word. This is more than a verse-by-verse study and brings in accompanying notes and references that help you in your spiritual growth. It usually takes us two sessions to get through all the questions and discussion portions because we are a talkative group, but no one wants to skip anything because we get so much out of the lessons.

We have just started James an already I can see that this will be a timely study for everyone. I can highly recommend this series of studies. Our ladies' group really enjoy them.

This guide organizes the study of what some label as a"disjointed" Epistle so that you have a clearer understanding of the wonderful practical aspects of the Christian life as seen through the perspective of St. James.
