What is the Christian life supposed to look like? How does real faith in God affect how we live in the real world?

Drawing on wisdom from the Sermon on the Mount and the book of Proverbs, the letter from James shows us how to live out our faith by addressing everyday issues with practical instruction, and reveals how real faith has an impact on real life.
