There are two popular reasons people have for choosing to not believe in God or go to church: 
1. It’s hard to believe in a Good and Loving God who allows so many trials in my life.  
2. There’s just too much hypocrisy in churches.

James (half-brother of Jesus) writes a straight-shooting, no-holds-barred letter with challenging words of wisdom that will help us persevere through trials and live as a maturing follower of Christ that reflects Him in increasing measure.
