James
5 chapters · 108 verses · James (Jesus's brother) · ~49 AD
Jesus's own brother — who once thought He was crazy — writes the most practical book in the New Testament. His test: if your faith doesn't change how you live, it isn't faith.
Overview
James is the New Testament's Proverbs — short, punchy, practical. He covers taming the tongue, treating rich and poor equally, patience in suffering, the power of prayer, and the famous challenge: "Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works." This is Christianity with its sleeves rolled up.
