The Letter of James frequently uses certain terms such as “brother, pray, faith, sin, judgment.” It is the book of the New Testament that most closely resembles Old Testament wisdom literature, and its contents are very similar to those of the “Sermon on the Mount,” as the author, although only mentioning the Lord Jesus Christ twice (James 1:1; 2:1), speaks like Him.The result is an eminently practical text, in which doctrinal teaching, as it is normally conceived, is absent. Nothing is said about the person and life of the Lord Jesus, His incarnation and redemption, His death and resurrection, while elements of eschatology and ecclesiology are present. Theological and exhortative concepts are not distinguished, as is usually the case in Paul's writings, because James intertwines and overlaps faith and works, theology and practice, doctrine and ethics, assuming that practice cannot be separated from dogma

In the eyes of our Creator, we are not puppets, but the architects of destiny. In response to our faith, He can effectively intervene in our lives to the point of turning chaos into blessing.

To a parent who unfairly criticizes you? To a colleague who spreads gossip? To a teacher who oppresses you disrespectfully? The normal reaction to such bullying is anger and a desire for revenge.

Watching those who mistreat you seemingly get away with it goes against your natural instinct. But if you leave justice in God's hands, He promises that:He will defend and protect youHe will bless you abundantlyYou will grow in character and develop spiritual muscles.When you surrender your right to set things right and instead let God take charge, you place justice in the right hands.

A valuable book that clarifies the importance of wisely managing what the Lord allows us to enjoy on this earth. With detailed arguments always supported by the Word of God, Juan Carlos Ortiz helps the reader understand that their role in this earthly life is simply that of an administrator of the resources God gives us, and how such administration is destined to end when life concludes. All attention is directed towards heavenly things, towards the "Bank of Heaven," where neither moth nor rust deteriorate and corrode.

A text that can be read individually, but also used in small groups for study and meditation.

Theologically, the Pentecostal movement is characterized by the experience of the second work of grace, following conversion, a precise moment of spiritual life within the believer's sanctification process. This is the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit," already attested in the Methodist and Holiness movements, which - in the Pentecostal tradition - manifests itself through glossolalia. The author presents some of the main aspects of Pentecostal history and identity, focusing on Italian events. The second part of the book offers an extensive and reasoned critical bibliography on Italian Pentecostalism.
