James on Trials:How Faith Matures in the Storms of Life (Studies in the Book of James)

A study that focuses on James's exhortation to Christians facing all kinds of trials to consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials--an astounding statement that sounds impossible to actually practice. How do we do it? James says it is by learning to look at trials from God's perspective instead of our own. In the first twenty-five verses of chapter 1, he demonstrates the complete sufficiency of our faith in Christ to handle any and all trials in a way that will glorify God and give us joy.
