* It's good to suffer loss, for it draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves. * Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God.

Invitation to James: Persevering through Trials to Win the Crown (Review)


Invitation to James: Persevering through Trials to Win the Crown, Biblical Preaching for the Contemporary Church (Wooster, OH: Weaver, 2014), Donald R. Sunukjian.


Biblical Preaching for the Contemporary Church made the Bible come alive. This small book of just 123 pages is not a technical commentary on James, but a very practical pastoral guide through James. Its intention is to help preachers learn how to effectively preach through James. Sunukjian's preaching style which is slightly edited for the book in order to preserve its oral style is amicable and relevant to our modern day experiences. His elaborate and interesting introductory stories and illustrations that starts of each of the 14 sermons make this already practical letter very relevant and relatable to our the issues that all of us encounter in life and especially in the church.

A free PDF can be excerpted here.

I received a free copy of this book from Cross Focused Reviews on behalf of Weaver Book Company.
