Synopsis

On the whole, David Roper would rather be fly-fishing. Fortunately for you, he exchanges his fishing tackle for pen and paper to write with uncommon depth, clarity, and relevance.

In Growing Slowly Wise, Roper masterfully lures you to go beneath the surface of the book of James and catch all its timely advice, practical reminders, and inspiration with topics like "The Poor Rich and the Rich Poor," "The Telltale Tongue," and "Wising Up."

Join David in waders and icy mountain streams and find out if Growing Slowly Wise is as good for the mind and spirit as he claims.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Holiness seems to be a dull word these days, conjuring up men and women with sullen, morose faces, full of rectitude and rigid duty. True holiness, however, is anything but dull. It is startling and arresting. It&;s more than being decent, good, ethical and upright. It has that quality that the Bible calls &;the beauty of holiness.&;

 

This is the picture of holiness that the New Testament writer James draws for us. It is a portrayal that fascinates us and awakens us to the hope that we can be more than we ever hoped to be; that we too can live lives of uncommon beauty and grace.

 

David Roper shows us the extraordinary quality of life of which James speaks, which can only be described as &;beautiful.&; He takes the message of the book of James and shows us how to build a faith that works in our twenty-first century lives.
