James Tells It Like It IsAny Christian who sincerely studies the Bible, knows that the book of James is probably the most challenging of all books in the Bible. James could be considered a “how to book” telling the Christian how they are supposed to live.

And when you see the largest warship in the British Navy, replete with missiles – an immense show of military power, cruising up London’s river Thames, you soon see that beyond the competitive sport of the London Olympics there are other issues at stake – the fear of terrorism and mass destruction wreaking havoc on the world’s greatest sporting event.
