Practical Faith & Active Love Joel W Huffstetler

"These short and elegant meditations on an often overlooked part of the New Testament by a first rate scholar priest offer much food for thought as we try to relate the Bible to our own often troubled world. Drawing on an extensive pastoral ministry as well as modern scholarship, Fr. Huffstetler succeeds in offering comfort, challenge and resources for the Christian life." -Mark D. Chapman, Professor of the History of Modern Theology, University of Oxford




"Accessible, gracefully provocative and drenched in the reckless mercy of God, these meditations help us imagine what a true ambassador for Jesus Christ might say and do, how they might listen and how they might love." -Mark Oakley, Dean, St. John's College, University of Cambridge




"... Brief...insightful meditations that exemplify the irresistible appeal of Scripture as believers and their communities deal with life's crises." -from the Foreword by Carl R. Holladay




"Practical Faith and Active Love: Meditations on the Epistle of James is a 'game plan for life.'" -Joan Cronan, Athletic Director Emeritus, University of Tennessee
