Praise for this book

"This hard-hitting book offers soul-searching insight from James 4, a crucial chapter of Scripture.
Author Thomas Parr sets James's strong exhortations in the context of God's great mercy in the gospel to sinners. Drawing from the wisdom of the past, it is grounded in solid Reformed theology." --Jim Newheiser, director of the Christian counseling program and associate professor of Christian counseling and pastoral theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina
"In this timely pastoral admonition, Tom Parr ministers faithful wounds and a robust gospel for those wounds. He shows that the message of James 4 is a needed tonic for a church rife with the sins of pride, covetousness, and unbelief. The book moves systematically through each verse of James 4, is enriched by synthetic Bible study and theological depth, and offers soul-searching questions with each chapter. This is a great resource for pastors and counselors to use with those looking for victory over the destructive sins of pride and strife." -- Robert Vincent, pastor of outreach and church education, Mount Calvary Baptist Church, Greenville, South Carolina
