James

Wisdom is more than intelligence or insight. It is not simply mental but moral. It is understanding how to live God’s way in God’s world and then acting on that. Among the New Testament epistle writers, James is especially concerned that we take hold of God’s wisdom. As we put our faith in a gracious Father, He will give us the wisdom to walk in a way that pleases Him.

An Invitation to Wisdom

This 13-day plan from theStory Book Study walks you through the book of James—a practical, wisdom-filled letter often called the Proverbs of the New Testament. Written by Jesus’ brother, James challenges believers to live out genuine faith in everyday life. From trials and temptations to money, pride, speech, and patience, James covers it all with clarity and conviction. His vivid images and straightforward teaching still hit home today. Each day includes a Scripture reading and reflection from experienced Bible teachers to help you grow in faith and action.

Every Good Gift: A 5-Day Advent Devotional

James has a knack for highlighting common mistakes in the Christian life and drawing us back into a humble admission that we need God’s mercy every day. For those of us who feel lethargic in the faith or who fear that Christian progress as of late has been slow, if measurable at all, the letter of James provides real medicine — sometimes difficult to take but always good for you!
