The Practical Christian Life: The Book of James (ePub)

The 3-A-DAY book series helps people better understand the Bible by providing resources that take approximately 3 minutes a day to read.

Looking for something to start, restart, or enhance your connection with God? Each chapter of this book can be read in approximately 3 minutes and help you take next steps in your journey with God. This book is great to use for a daily devotional, personal Bible study, small group study, or sermon preparation.

Let's face it…most people have busy lives filled with work, school, building relationships, and all kinds of other events or obligations. You may crawl into bed many nights exhausted from the day's happenings. If growing in a relationship with God is also a part of your daily habit, you may sometimes find it difficult to get into a healthy routine of reading and studying the Bible.

Can you find 3 minutes each day?

If so, that's how long it may take you to read each chapter of this book. The book is organized into several short chapters which guide you through the book of James. The goal is not to read this entire book in one or two days, but to take three minutes a day to read one chapter from this book. Although it may take you several weeks to finish, the brief chapters should allow you to absorb and apply what you are learning.
