Radically Whole

Gospel Healing for the Divided Heart from the Book of James

By: David Gibson

Narrated by: David Gibson

An Expository Journey through the Book of James Helps Christians Move from Double-Mindedness to Wholeness

Everyone longs for wholeness and honesty in their lives. In reality, people are often double-minded—pulled between good and bad—in their speech, actions, and character. These rifts can be spiritually and relationally devastating. So how does God heal a fractured heart?

This analysis of the New Testament book of James helps listeners identify double-mindedness in their own lives and understand God's grace as he "pulls apart the divided heart to make it whole." Explaining James's challenging epistle chapter by chapter, David Gibson helps listeners embrace the painful yet profound process of redemption, defeat double-mindedness, and experience wholeness in every area of their lives.

The most practical applications!

I have read a number of books about the Letter of James. This book is the best and most searching and useful for my spiritual growth of any that I’ve read. His emphasis is not just on my spiritual growth, but on my actions, reactions, and progress in relation to the brothers and sisters in my church as we worship and do life together. The last chapter on praying and suffering is the best part of the book. I plan to read this book again right away, and others by David Gibson very soon.

Convicting. Convincing. Compassionate.

David Gibson is one of the finest preachers of God’s Word in our lifetime. His books, drawn from sermons to his own church, reveal the God of the Bible with such clarity. Listening to Gibson’s exposition on James made me feel uncomfortable with my own sin (convicted), drawn by the truthfulness of God’s Word (convinced) and loved by God (compassionate). Ever since listening to the first pages of this book, I’ve been meditating on Psalm 86:11, “Teach me your way(s) Oh Lord; give me an undivided heart, that I might fear (honor) your name.”
