James- Everyday Bible Commentary

Overview

What should you as a Christian be thinking, saying, and doing? These are the questions we’re all asking and that James is answering. And these truths shine brightest when someone is explaining their full context and why it all matters for us now. This is what the best preachers do, but you don’t have to wait until Sunday’s sermon. Encounter the beautiful depth of James through an enlightening verse-by-verse commentary from Vernon Doerksen that’s both straightforward and insightful. You’ll gain:

• a new perspective on how James relates to other passages in the Old and New Testament
• Insights from the original languages
• Help with the difficult passages
• And more!

You don’t have to go to seminary to encounter God in exciting, new ways through His Word. Discover how much more enjoyable your personal study will be with understandable, quality Bible commentary for everyday life.
