Complete. Undivided. Whole.  
  
This is how we are meant to be, but in today's word we often find ourselves pulled in two directions: between God and the world, good and bad, between who we really are and what we allow other people to see.  
  
In Radically Whole, award-winning author David Gibson explores how we can learn from the New Testament Letter of James to overcome that divide and live the complete lives that God intends for us. Though its teaching on Christian living can be hard-hitting, the letter to James can help us find our way to a better kind of discipleship, where we live a fully integrated and honest life before God and other people.  
  
Full of gospel healing and practical insight, Radically Whole shows us that we don't have to be divided – that by keeping our lives centred around Christ's teaching, you can become who you were always meant to be, displaying God's goodness and glory to the world.  
  
The world may pull us apart, but through God we can all be rebuilt to become Radically Whole.

Preface

Acknowledgments

Introduction: ﻿getting your bearings

Stand back and see the whole

Perfection

All of me, for all of you

Doing

Receive God's implanted ﻿Word

Look in God's revealing mirror

Persevere with God's freeing law

Remember, this is not a word to the overly sensitive

Learn how God grows us in righteousness

Bridle ﻿our tongues

Remember that our church structures must run bibline

Examine where ﻿we are with the Bible

Love

Learn to love as God loves

Learn to judge as God judges

Seeing

Warning 1: ﻿don't be all talk and no action

Warning 2: ﻿don't be all thought and no action

A problem to wrestle with

Three applications to reflect on

Words

1 ﻿The tongue is small – it has power out of all proportion to its size

2 ﻿The tongue is a fire – it can destroy out of all proportion to its size

3 ﻿The tongue is a fountain – what it produces is in perfect harmony with its source

Take your words to God

Set your words to work

Don't rush to teach

Wisdom

Division 1: between above and below

Division 2: between God and the world

Division 3: between you and your fellow Christian

Division 4: between you and God's law

Come back, again, to Jesus

Presumption

Don't plan your life﻿ forgetting what you are

Don't plan tomorrow﻿ forgetting whose you are

Wealth

Money talks, but some rich people can't hear what it's saying

Judgment beckons, but some rich people can't tell the time

Suffering

Wholeness can be found in a surprising stance adopted by God's people (5:7–12)

Wholeness can come from a shocking reality among God's people (5:13–20)

Six applications of this message for us today
