James – The Other Side of Suffering

It has become customary to ask the question: “Why do bad things happen to good people?” The epistle of James turns this question on its head, asking instead: How will you respond when bad things happen to you?

In this immensely practical letter tot he earliest Christians, the respected apostle encourages his listeners to take a different view of suffering – to see it, in fact, as an opportunity to grow into the people God is calling us to be.
