It is very possible that the Book of James is the oldest book of the New Testament. Written by the brother of Jesus, the book has a very Jewish feel to it. James was the leader of the Jerusalem church, and was deeply respected in early Christianity. Sometimes, the book of James is called "the Proverbs of the New Testament" because of its witty expressions and creative analogies for living a life modeled on the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Book of James is powerful. Its famous lines are often memorized. This book will take you deep into the Book of James so that you can live a life that is more fully devoted to following Jesus Christ as Lord.
