There's a lot of wisdom and action in the five small chapters of James, found in the New Testament. Written by the human brother of Jesus Christ, James is a person who struggled with Jesus being the Son of God. I mean, wouldn't you? If your brother or sister or best friend came up to you and said they were God, even speaking with great authority and wisdom, as well as performing incredible miracles, wouldn't it be hard to see them as anything other than human? James saw his brother Jesus at the dinner table. Playing as a kid. Doing chores. In the bathroom. Come on - that's God?! And yet, eventually, the proof was in the pudding, and James followed Jesus as his Lord and Savior for the rest of James's life.

The book of James is an important writing - getting to the root of one of the biggest problems with the worldwide Church today: action. Christians tend to fill up with head knowledge of Christianity. But it's becoming increasingly rare, especially in the Western Church, to see that head knowledge put into action. And we all know there's a HUGE difference between book smarts and street smarts! James directs his readers to live into both!
