Shoe Leather Faith: Walking out the book of James, verse by

If your faith holds up fine on Sunday but falls apart by Tuesday, the book of James was written for you.James pulls no punches. He refuses to let faith stay a comfortable idea and drives it down into the calluses of the hand, the words of the mouth, and the contents of the wallet. Pastor Robert Rohlin calls James the Proverbs of the New Testament - and his favorite letter for exactly that reason.In Shoe Leather Faith, drawn from more than forty-six years in the pulpit, you will walk through the entire book of James one passage at a time, across twenty-six sessions. Each lesson sets the scene, prints the passage in full, digs into what it meant then and what it means now, and asks the honest question most studies dodge: where does this rub me - and what does that reveal?It never flinches from the hard places - the tension between faith and works, the prayer for the sick, the warning to teachers - but it teaches you to sit with the difficulty instead of resolving it cheaply.Inside you will find: - Verse-by-verse teaching in plain language a teenager and a seasoned teacher can both follow- True-to-life illustrations drawn from history and Scripture- Searching, personal application that moves you from hearing the Word to doing it- Questions for reflection or group discussion in all twenty-six sessionsWhether you study alone or around a table, whether you have read the Bible for fifty years or are opening it for the first time, these pages will help you build a faith that actually works - and equip you to lead others to do the same.Shoe Leather Faith is the first volume in the From Pulpit to Practice series: applying Scripture where life actually happens.
