This is a great bible study series for a small group. I led it for a group ranging from 10-15 people. Each Sunday we took a lesson a discovered the "life lesson" that the book of James holds for us. After reading it and going over the questions in each session, you can't help but make changes in your life, or see the possiblity for change and growth.

I purchased this book because I was doing a Bible study on James with a friend. I have enjoyed reading Lucado's other books. They are often thought provoking and challenging. However, I did not find this book to be of the same caliber. It is extremely basic and doesn't have much meat. In my opinion this would be good as an introduction for a very new Christian, but for any other believer, it falls short of getting to the heart of what James wrote. So, if you want something very (I mean very) basic, then this is for you. If you want to dig deeper (I don't mean into the Greek) to get some meat (and get off the milk), then try something else.

We are using this as a study book for our small group and loving it. It is easy to read, thoughtfully written and perfect for our small group.

I downloaded the kindle version of this and I couldn't be more pleased. I loved how fast it was to download the product and I have enjoyed reading through it for devotions. This is an excellent buy.

We did this study with our lifegroup last year and everyone really liked it! Easy format and made discussion flow very smoothly.

Needed to have this book for my bible study class. Once I started reading it - quite informative. Thanks for having it, not I can be part of the discussion.

I agree with the other reviewer that this book is weak for the purpose of leading a small group or Sunday School class. The study questions do not dig deeply into the scripture passages.
