The first chapter of the Epistle of James is a wealth of wisdom to be applied to the trials of life. It is wisdom that is to be applied for the purpose of becoming the complete person God intended each of us to be. As THE JAMES PRESCRIPTION unfolds, readers will learn new ways to think, feel, and behave that move systematically from the basic priorities to a new strategy for the development of virtue. These new skills include praying for wisdom and expecting to get it, the attitudes of grace, joy, and hope, simple and complex problem solving formulas, slowing down, and "The Virtue Manual.".
