The Book of James is not a book of high theology but a manual for living our faith in the everyday. It deals with nitty-gritty issues like needing more money, talking too much, giving a helping hand, being jealous of one’s neighbour, and knowing where to go when one is in a jam. As such, James’ Letter becomes a valuable aid as we attempt to navigate the tumultuous waters of what's going on in both the world outside and inside our day today.
