"There are a thousand ways in which our spirits can go sour. our minds turn doubtful, our hearts boil with vindictiveness, our tongues oaze with venom," says Dr. David Hubbard. But there is scriptural help, as timely now as when it was written to encourage the struggling early Christians.

The Book of James covers a range of problems from doubt and division within the church to intimidation and persecution without. Dr. Hubbard shows how James approached these problems. "Wisdom" is what James urges and he shows how wisdom can help believers in determining life's prionties, in treating people fairly, resisting temptation, handling money. praying effectively, and many other daily needs

To help believers keep their lives under God's control Dr. Hubbard has created this study for both personal and group use. Each of the thirteen chapters covers a small portion of the Book of James-six to ten verses, Dr. Hubbard offers historical references, personal examples, spiritual insights-a rich combination of ancient and contemporary resources to make Bible study truly a discovery of "wisdom that works"
