Tim Keller | November 29, 2009
The book of James is a very practical book that gives us clear direction on how to live the Christian life. It asks these questions, “If you have had an encounter with God through belief in Christ, what will your life look like on the ground? How does belief in Christ make a difference in real life?” That’s what the book of James is about.
This particular text tells us something very important. If you have a new and living relationship with God, then you will have a new and living relationship with God’s Word. This relationship with God’s Word is marked by three things: 1) you’ll be humbled by the Word; 2) you’ll be shaped by the Word; and 3) you’ll be liberated by the Word.

In Christ, our living redeemer, we have the greatest resource for facing life’s challenges — his resurrection! In this book, Dr. Keller invites you to consider that the resurrection not only happened as a historical fact, but that through it, Jesus invites you to experience a living hope for today and the future.
