Frankly, I do not know how to thank God for this great opportunity. I have often read this epistle of Jacques for over 20 years but understanding it the way I understood it this time through the newly received explanations was very beneficial. It was actually too deep to the point that I re-audit each time one thing or two. The methodology with it this course has been presented to refocus my way of understanding even some other general epistles. All the glory be to God .
