James Bible Verse Art
Faith that rolls up its sleeves.
James, the brother of Jesus, wrote the Bible's most practical letter: wisdom for trials, taming the tongue, prayer that changes things. 12 original paintings from James are available today, including James 1:5 Promise Of Wisdom, James 4:8 Intimate Encounter, and James 5:16 Praying for a Change.
About the Book of James
James grew up in the same house as Jesus and did not believe until the resurrection. Then he became the anchor of the Jerusalem church, and his letter reads like the Proverbs of the New Testament: short, sharp, and impossible to misunderstand.
Count it all joy in trials. If any of you lack wisdom, ask, and God gives liberally. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Every good gift comes down from the Father of lights. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Mark Lawrence paints James for people who want their faith working on weekdays: wisdom for decisions, words that heal, and prayer that moves things.
