Super repetitive. Almost all personal application questions. Did not feel that it lead me to a better understanding of God or His Scriptures. Only one week of this study had any takeaways for me at all.
Scott Chatham –
Great high level study MacArthur is an intelligent, gifted theologian, preacher, etc. I have many of his bible commentaries. This one is not as in depth as some of the others he has published, but it may be perfect for the level of detail you are looking for.
Ambica Converse –
I never get tired of studying the book of James. This is my first time doing a study guide and it was very challenging.
Jeff Hoots –
Good commentary and study questions for reflection and application.

Recommended reading I read this book as part of a men's bible study group studying the book of James. As always, the MacArthur guide provided great insight, structure and provocative questions for the lively group discussions.

I effective study guide on the book of James. I would recommend this book for Sunday school or something similar. He provides a lot of questions in each chapter, which would be great for group discussion.
Kelsey Mckenzie –
I enjoyed this study. It took me awhile to complete it because the lessons are a little lengthier and encourage some reflection. It was insightful and challenging.

Not counting toward my total reading for 2009 as I didn't finish. What I did read was interesting, though it was not as riveting as other spiritual/biblical reading I have done this year.
