About Truth for Life: A Devotional Commentary on the Epistle of JamesNo part of the Bible is more dynamically relevant to today’s ethical culture and spiritual climate than the Letter of James. It tackles twenty-first century issues head-on, ruthlessly exposing our pressures and problems and showing how they can be overcome by the indwelling grace of God. John Blanchard vividly expounds this message with clarity and conviction—and with an enthusiasm that makes Truth for Life a book to read, studied, and lived! |
