Great Practical Applications from the Book of James
This is the first book I’ve read by Dudley Rutherford and I enjoyed how he kept me hooked with good illustrations for living out the book of James. He moved very quickly to practical applications from the book of James in addressing 8 key areas in the Christian life:
1) Turning stress into joy – James 1:1-12
2) Overcoming temptation – James 1:13-27
3) Breaking down walls that divide – James 2:1-12
4) Resuscitating a dying faith – James 2:14-26
5) Curbing your profanity – James 3:1-12
6) Restoring a broken heart – James 4:1-12
7) Prioritizing your investments – James 4:13-17
8) Healing your afflictions – James 5:1-19
If you are looking for a technical commentary on James – this is not it. However, if you are looking for some good practical ways to live out the Christian life this book is full of ideas and principles to apply in “living out your faith.” I read the Kindle version and one of the nice features in this book is that it has “apps” that you can click on like you have on a smart phone to be able to go to videos, articles, and even an app for reading the Bible for a year.
I sort of felt like I was reading the gospel of Mark in reading this book – very fast paced and full of action. I think young people and new believers in the faith will especially enjoy this book.
