- Current Study: Beth Moore's "James: Mercy Triumphs" based on the Book of James. "Bible scholars compare James to the prophet Amos. In other ways James more closely resembles the Book of Proverbs than any New Testament book. Come along with Beth Moor on a journey to get to know both the man and the Book of James. You will never be the same again."
