Across seven weeks you'll learn to persevere through trials with purpose, tame your tongue, navigate wealth and justice with integrity, plan with humility, and pray with confidence. James challenges us to a faith rooted in the wisdom of God — and this study will stretch you, steady you, and strengthen you as you grow into the person God created you to be.

What readers are saying

From women who've done the study.

“Thank you, Luann, for kindly making it clear that 'growing up' in the church is not the same thing as 'growing up' in your faith. If you're looking for a deeper relationship with God, this Bible study is the reality check you're looking for.”
— Dustie Bartolazzi
“If you are looking for a study that will deepen your relationship with Christ, then Growing Up is the study for you — an insightful guide to practical Christian living with lots of opportunity for self-reflection.”
— Sue Gold
“If you are seeking a compelling study that will challenge you to take the core demands of Christian discipleship seriously, you have found it in the James Bible Study.”
— Janet Beckwith Stewart
“This James Bible Study is unlike any I have participated in before. It is just the right amount of video, homework, and discussion.”
— Katherine Meyer
“For the first time I came to understand that trials are not punishment, but opportunities to strengthen my faith. This made them easier to endure.”
— Linda Zimmerman
“The book of James is where the rubber meets the road. Luann doesn't just teach what to do, but how to do it.”
— Paula Robertson
