The Book of James is a practical guide on Christian living. Rich with teaching, it covers numerous topics related to faith and works, trials, wisdom, controlling the tongue, partiality, and wealth. James opens chapter 1 with an encouragement for believers to consider trials as joy because they produce perseverance (steadfast determination) leading to maturity in faith. James also assures believers that if they lack wisdom, they should ask God who gives generously to all without reproach.
