It is very possible that the Book of James is the oldest book of the New Testament. Written by the brother of Jesus, the book has a very Jewish feel to it. James was the leader of the Jerusalem church, and was deeply respected in early Christianity. Sometimes, the book of James is called "the Proverbs of the New Testament" because of its witty expressions and creative analogies for living a life modeled on the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Book of James is powerful. Its famous lines are often memorized. This book will take you deep into the Book of James so that you can live a life that is more fully devoted to following Jesus Christ as Lord.

Those of us who pray often feel that our prayers could be better. We might wish we prayed more frequently, or that the words of our prayers were better (whatever that means to us). Maybe we wonder if we are praying correctly. (We should remember that, since God is our Father, He is pleased if we talk to Him at all-even if it is infrequently or shallow.) Most of us never had anyone teach us how to pray. We mimicked what we heard from others. So we find ourselves saying the same things in the same way. We yearn for a way to enrich our prayers and add variety and depth.This book can help. Scripture contains hundreds of passages about prayer, with much richness and variety. Studying them is an excellent way to enrich our own prayers. This volume contains a chapter for each of the 40+ prayers in Genesis through Joshua. Each chapter includes the text of the prayer passage, followed by a study of its background, an exploration of its meaning, and an application of what we learn. The introduction includes an exploration of studying the Bible and an overview of every type of prayer: praise, thanksgiving, petition, intercession, vow, confession, repentance, lament, blessing, and curse.Well-suited for either personal or group study and devotional."This book taught me more about prayer and grew my prayer life more than any single resource I have found." -Janet Severson (London)"A unique study and devotional book on prayer-McDowell's knowledge of the prayers and ability to apply them to the practice of prayer is unparalleled." -Jonathan Schneider (Tampa)

What is justice, and how can it be defined? Justice has been defined in various ways throughout the development of political, social, economic, philosophical, and religious literature over the centuries. Justice has been defined as a process as well as an outcome. In how many movies have we seen a character who was told that the evil character had suffered some type of setback and the character said, "This is the first time I have believed there is a God!" What is the connection? Why was the suffering of the evil character an example of the existence of God? This need for right to prevail over wrong is at the foundation of what we call justice. We all believe and need to believe that evil will not triumph and there will be recompense for doing evil. Secular or religious, the need for justice is satisfied in the belief that a "higher power" or "a God" or "the universe" or "karma" will apply the higher truths of right and wrong to the events of mankind, ensuring that evil does not prevail. I Am He Who Sees: Justice Defined by the Hand of God proposes that justice is defined by who God is and what God does and why God does what He does. Justice, the Scriptures tell us, is in the eyes of God, and His hand will apply justice and the weak will be defended. It is proposed in this book that the utilization of a literal, historical, and contextual hermeneutical review of the Bible itself answers the question of what is justice in the hand of God. Justice includes the proposition that God is involved in the affairs of mankind. Justice, as the Scriptures tell us, occurs through the interaction of her three daughters - law, mercy, and grace. The approach taken in this book is that the Bible is true and can be used as an exclusive authoritative source for determining the definition, purpose, and operation of justice and law.

This book, originally published in 1883, is a collection of thoughts and a prayer for each day of the year. Written by the vicar of Grewelthorpe at St. James's Church, it captures the sincere faith of that older age. This volume was originally published in 1883 by Skeffington & Son, London, and today until now only available in rare print volumes, scans, or as plain text files produced via computer OCR, which results in numerous errors and mistakes, and lack formatting. This version, part of the Sulis Classic Reprints series, has been carefully edited, formatted, and typeset. Where appropriate, archaic spellings and words have been updated for the modern reader, but the context, structure, and layout has been preserved as in the original. We have also added a brief biography of the author.

God sees. God hears. God answers. Life hurts, and in times of failure, do you wonder if God hears? Does he see? Does he care? The Bible says have faith and it also says hope deferred makes the heart sick. How do you have faith when your heart is sick? Lord, Help My Unbeliefreviews famous stories in the Bible with a focus on the human pain within these stories, and how God sees our pain and doubts and fears and works with them, and in them, to prove his love for us and to make life better. Lord, Help My Unbelief proposes that God's heart and hand are shown to be practical and can be counted upon. In times of trouble, it is less about our faith and more about his faithfulness in the process of time. The heart is made sick in the middle of that process, but in God's time that longing of the heart is fulfilled by the root of the tree of life.
