Description

This six-session Bible study on James by Sam Allberry explores the difference between genuine and fake faith—and how real Christianity makes a real difference.

Each session will draw you to look closely at the Bible text and apply it meaningfully to your everyday life. It includes questions that open up discussion, optional personal reflections and a concise Leader’s Guide.

Flexible and easy to use, Good Book Guides are perfect for both groups and individuals.

Features: 

  • Written by a trusted Bible teacher 
  • Covers the entire book of James in six sessions
  • Thoughtful questions that get to the heart of the text and apply it meaningfully to your life 
  • Discussion prompts 
  • Leader’s Guide with insights on every question
  • Optional extra sections if you have more time, including prayer prompts and icebreaker ideas

There is an accompanying commentary available for those wanting an even more in-depth study or for those teaching the Bible to others. 

"These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application.” -Michael J. Kruger, President and Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, NC

“Each guide in this series provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.” - Tim Chester, Crosslands Training; Author

I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.

The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.

The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and  apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!

“Excellent Resource!!”

(Review written for 'James: Genuine faith (ebook)')

This is by far one of the best and most practical study guides I have used over 50 years of teaching Sunday School and leading Bible Studies. The questions are pertinent and the leaders guide is thorough. I can't wait to use another of the author's guides!!

“Well put together”

(Review written for 'James: Genuine faith')

Excellent small group study. Good discussion questions and added information. I appreciated the leader's guide section as well. Used this study in our Growth Group ministry with 6 groups and 50 people.

“Excellent”

(Review written for 'James: Genuine faith')

We are a small group of ladies who have enjoyed numerous studies but this one has had a huge impact on us. Everyone should do this study, it maps out everything one needs to know about whether their walk with Christ is genuine or not.
The book is direct and honest, we have truly enjoyed it.

“Helpful”

(Review written for 'James: Genuine faith')

We have begun this study in our house group. We thought it suitable to coordinate with sermon series on distinctives. And it does do that from a slightly different angle. Helpful but we have tended to take a long time; I guess the questions have been rightly provocative!

“Excellent resource!”

(Review written for 'James: Genuine faith')

I bought this book along with it's companion book, James for you, by the same author. They are absolutely wonderful! I am re reading the chapters to absorb the wonderful exposition of this letter from James, which I have found difficult to understand in the past. It is not a study to rush through. Often I have had to stop, search my heart and ask myself tough questions. Highly recommended.

“Excellent resource”

(Review written for 'James: Genuine faith')

We used the guide in our church house groups where ages ranged from 18 to elderly and all found the book to be a great basis to begin looking at the book of James. The questions were thought provoking and prompted further discussion ( and the additional information/answers at the back of the book proved very helpful)
