James uses the word “brother” or “brothers” nineteen times in just five chapters. Nineteen times, he evokes this word which reminds believers of the unique family relationships in the church. This book is a manual for Christian growth within the community of faith. James is just one brother looking another brother in the eye and encouraging him as he runs the race. As he spurs on his brothers and sisters, James tackles fourteen major issues with honesty and grace.
