Book Overview
Perhaps of all the books in the New Testament, James most squarely focuses on results. His pull-no-punches approach to spiritual maturity, his preference for action over words, makes his text the perfect backdrop for a study of how to grow in our faith.
Beloved author and teacher, Warren Wiersbe, leads you through this practical book with advice on how to overcome temptation, controlling the tongue, effective prayer, and how to practice what the Bible teaches. If you're going to make progress in these areas, you will need a growing faith and dependence on Christ because as James claims, "Every good and perfect gift is from above."
Now with study questions and updated foreword by Ken Baugh, Be Mature makes the perfect guide through your study of James. Trust Warren Wiersbe's 40+ years of experience to instruct you on important truths from God's Word.

Rated 5 starsReview book Be Mature
Excellent book. Am impressed with the author's writing style; easy to read and holds your attention. Wiersby is a sound commentator in his exegisis of the text.

Rated 5 starsGreat commentary on James!
All of Warren Wiersbe's "Be Series" books are just outstanding! This one is no exception. James has been called the Proverbs of the New Testament. Martin Luther didn't think it belonged in the Bible because of it's emphasis on good works! This short book, written by James the brother of Jesus, is a goldmine of instruction on how to live as a mature Christian.Warren will lead you through the book bit by bit and your study...

Rated 5 starsLayman's terms
I found this book very easy to read. He sticks with the scripture and really focuses on each verse. The book is great for indvidual study as well as group study. I felt he was able to make his points in language that a Chritian could apply to everyday life. He was able to relate the scripture which was written years ago, to the lives of Christians in these times. The letters written long ago are to be applied to today just...

Rated 5 starsEXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR A BIBLE STUDY GROUP
WE USED THIS BOOK ALONG WITH ANOTHER STUDY GUIDE FOR THE BOOK OF JAMES. WIERSBE'S INSIGHTS WERE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO THE STUDY AND, IN MANY CASES, TOUCHED ON POINTS THE OTHER STUDY MISSED. ALSO, IT IS EASY, ENJOYABLE READING.

Rated 4 starsGreat "meatier" study to do with new Christians!
This book has the ability to remain current. I first went through it 18 years ago, and it is just as sharp today. The truths of James exhort us to "grow up", yet they are expressed in a way that makes them tremendously appealing.
