In these pages Sam explains how this explosive letter can shape the way we relate to God, to the church, and to the world. If you are looking for an insightful, convicting, encouraging, accessible guide to the book of James, then this is the guide for you! -- Justin Taylor (Gospel Coalition blogger and Vice-President of Editorial, Crossway)
Soundly doctrinal, eminently practical, and beautifully devotional, this just might be the most accessible yet serious commentary on James available. I don't like to admit this, but I find many biblical commentaries tedious and boring—but there's nothing dry or abstract about James For You. Whether you're planning to preach or teach James or to listen to these ancient words to redirect your own life, Sam Allberry is a wise and faithful guide. -- Russell D. Moore (Editor in Chief, Christianity Today)
Sam Allberry shows with his characteristic candor and empathy how God's wisdom lands in our living rooms, board rooms, and churches. The ways in which Allberry highlights the clarity, unity, and simplicity of the book of James are truly enjoyable. His illustrations will stay with me for a long time. -- Gloria Furman (Author of Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full and The Pastor's Wife)
Pitch perfect. Deep enough to equip the reader for the trickiest passages, without overwhelming them with detail. We used this book in our congregation and the result was a well-fed and suitably challenged church. -- Chris Green (Vicar, St James Muswell Hill, north London; author of Cutting to the Heart)
Sam's writing is clear, and easily accessible, with plenty of illustrations to explain the Bible text. … I had always previously imagined that James' letter was a kind of scattergun of wise words, almost like Proverbs in its randomness. Sam works hard to try to discern the structure of the letter. I found this really helpful … The structure seems to make a lot more sense, having read the book. -- Gary McMurray
