Book Description
Dr. Wiersbe's best-selling "Be" commentary series has over 4 million volumes in print. These timeless books have provided a generation invaluable insight into the history, meaning, and context of virtually every book of the Bible. Reintroduced to a new generation of believers, these commentaries now include study questions at the end of each chapter for further reflection and application. Written for both the pastor and layperson, these are must-haves for anyone wanting to study the Word.
Perhaps of all the books in the New Testament, James most squarely focuses on results. His pull-no-punches approach to spiritual maturity, his preference for action over words, makes his text the perfect backdrop for a study of how to grow in our faith. This practical book will offer advise on how to overcome temptation, control the tongue, have effective prayer, and how to practice what the Bible teaches.

All of Warren Wiersbe's "Be Series" books are just outstanding! This one is no exception. James has been called the Proverbs of the New Testament. Martin Luther didn't think it belonged in the Bible because of it's emphasis on good works! This short book, written by James the brother of Jesus, is a goldmine of instruction on how to live as a mature Christian.
Warren will lead you through the book bit by bit and your study of James will be oh so much richer as a result. I'm studying James with my small group Bible Study and I'm getting so much more out of our study because of "Be Mature"!
If you're interested in reading more of Warren's commentaries, you might want to check out Bible Exposition Commentary Set (Volumes 1 & 2), which is a compilation of ALL of Wiersbe's "Be Series" books on the NEW TESTAMENT. He's not quite done writing all the commentaries on the Old Testament, then hopefully we'll have a 2-volume set containing those as well.
This commentary is easy to understand - definitely written for laypersons. But it does not lack depth. Get this one and another one of your favorite book of the Bible and enjoy!

Layman's terms Sep 5, 2001
I found this book very easy to read. He sticks with the scripture and really focuses on each verse. The book is great for indvidual study as well as group study. I felt he was able to make his points in language that a Chritian could apply to everyday life. He was able to relate the scripture which was written years ago, to the lives of Christians in these times. The letters written long ago are to be applied to today just as they were long ago. Jesus is never changing. I felt Wierse did an excellent job in encouraging us to 'be mature'.
EXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR A BIBLE STUDY GROUP Jun 1, 1999
WE USED THIS BOOK ALONG WITH ANOTHER STUDY GUIDE FOR THE BOOK OF JAMES. WIERSBE'S INSIGHTS WERE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO THE STUDY AND, IN MANY CASES, TOUCHED ON POINTS THE OTHER STUDY MISSED. ALSO, IT IS EASY, ENJOYABLE READING.
Great "meatier" study to do with new Christians! Apr 1, 1999
This book has the ability to remain current. I first went through it 18 years ago, and it is just as sharp today. The truths of James exhort us to "grow up", yet they are expressed in a way that makes them tremendously appealing.
