The Book of James is a message of practical Christianity talking about how to live out the faith, not just saying it but doing it too! James starts in chapter 1: "Consider it pure joy when you face trials because it develops perseverance and maturity... and ask God for wisdom if you lack it... blessed is the man who perseveres under trial... because he will receive the crown of life from God... and don't be deceived because every good and perfect gift is from above... and everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger... get rid of all moral filth... and don't just listen to the word but do what is says... but the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom... and does it... will be blessed... and if anyone considers himself religious but doesn't control his tongue then his religion is worthless... for religion that God accepts is looking after orphans and widows... and keeping oneself from the world's pollution".
