I wrote this book for me—and people like me. Now, let me explain. I love God, and I love to read and study his book, the Bible. In fact, that’s what I do for a living. I’m blessed to lead a wonderful church, and I’m also an adjunctive professor for two large, evangelical seminaries. What this means is that I’m constantly studying and teaching God’s word. And that’s just it—studying for my mind is one thing; meditating with my heart is another. That is why I love devotional studies. They help remind me that I must be a faithful worshiper before I can be a faithful teacher. That’s why I’ve written this book. 30 Days to James is the kind of devotional that I love to read—a devotional that unites solid teaching with practical application. It’s designed to give you a devotion to read every day for a month, along with some valuable resources for meditation, application, and prayer. Honestly, my days are as crazy as yours, so you can read each day’s devotion in 15-20 minutes. The study, however, will stay with you all day long!
