Product Description

On the whole, David Roper would rather be fly-fishing. Fortunately for the rest of us, he stows his fishing tackle often enough to produce books of uncommon depth, clarity, and relevance. In Growing Slowly Wise, David masterfully lures the reader to go beneath the service of the book of James and catch all of its timely advice, practical reminders, and inspiring exhortations. Apparently the time David spends in waders and icy mountain streams is as good for the mind and soul as he claims.

He has written the character study Elijah:A Man Like Us, and examines the basis of true manhood in The Strength of a Man. In Quietness and Confidence is a thought-provoking devotional that tackles the tough issues of love, purity, and moral courage.

An excellent book by an excellent Author. David Roper writes with a style that is easy to read and understand, yet highly intelligent at the same time. His words are captivating, and sometimes poetic. Growing Slowly Wise is an excellent study on James, and it will stir you up to evaluate the attitudes you have towards your church, your calling, and your walk as a Christian. July 13, 2007
