    In fact, growing numbers of people are saying that worry and stress related to coronavirus have negatively impacted their mental health. Regardless of where you think you are going or how you are feeling, James has a word for all those who find themselves in the midst of great trials.

    In this short book of James, 108 verses, James the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Pastor of the first church at Jerusalem address the subject of Christianity from a very practical view. He does not try to debate philosophy and teach doctrinal theology. He simply states in chapter one ...read more
