Triumph through Trials: The Epistle of James

In Triumph through Tragedies: The Epistle of James, David R. Anderson’s pastoral commentary provides practical insights that help apply the truths of James to times of trial. Throughout his exposition of James, Anderson argues that God does not shield his children from trials, but in fact, allows trials to come our way simply because we are his children. He posits that this is precisely when God does his best work—ironically, in the darkness of our trials. Though James does not gives us all the answers, Anderson illuminates how it does offer some of the answers to why bad things happen to good people. Anderson’s insights are challenging and encouraging, as he demonstrates how James is a letter that speaks to the heart of God’s children, guiding them through the times when the fog rolls in.
