More from Anita

Life is broken. We keep trying and trying—and trying—to make something worthwhile out of life, but no matter what we do on our own, it’s still a hopelessly shattered mess. When we allow Christ to love His way into our lives, we discover this miraculous thing called grace. He can take what is fractured by sin and refashion it into a magnificent work of art. And He gives us a new lightness of heart and a livelier step. Best of all, paradise has been regained! Yes, that is us—when we journey humbly with Him.

It has been said that some of James’ inspired writings have similarities to the Book of Proverbs. So, I am hopeful you will also enjoy—Pausing for Proverbs—the little inset devotions, which are enfolded into this work.

May these ninety devotions and your journey with James flood your life with hope, ripen your faith, and transform you into a woman who knows how to dance in God’s light and His wonderful ways of joy…

My Thoughts

Pure Joy: 90 Devotions on the Book of James is written by Anita Higman. I love how this book came along right when our church was starting a women’s Bible Study. I always love how things intercross because I know that God wants me to know something

I love the way that this book is organized. Each devotion starts with a verse. The author does a great job in unpacking the verse and showing how it can relate to our every day lives.

James is one of my favorite books in the Bible. It’s one that I read almost immediately after becoming a Christian. I love how it always can relate to anything that you’re going through

Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
