In May, Immanuel Church Nashville, where Sam Allberry had been serving as a pastor, announced that the elders had found Sam to be disqualified from gospel ministry due to his conduct in an inappropriate relationship. You can read their statement here. At TGBC, we seek to follow the lead of the church in discerning who is qualified to have a teaching ministry through the writing of books. We therefore paused sales of the books Sam has published with TGBC.
Since then we have spoken directly both with the leadership of Immanuel and with Sam himself. As a result, we are continuing to pause sales but not to cease publication altogether. We will continue to review the situation and speak with those involved, as well as to pray for them.
If you have any questions about Sam's books, please email admin@thegoodbook.co.uk. And if you would like to be pointed to a resource similar to the one on this product page, please email hello@thegoodbook.co.uk and we’d be glad to try to help.

What is the difference between genuine faith and counterfeit faith? How do we know for sure that our faith is real? How can we know joy even in trials, and patience even in suffering?
James is a book full of practical, life-changing help for real life. James For You makes clear its teaching and applies its challenges to the experiences of everyday Christians as Sam Allberry brings his clarity, wisdom and humour to every page.
You can read through this book as a normal book, work through it devotionally, or use it as you prepare for teaching or preaching a passage. As you read, you’ll pay close attention to the ...text and clean insights into the original historical, cultural, and biblical context while gaining clear and grounded application for Christians today.
The author gives a clear biblical look into the book of James. His insights are backed with scripture and not personal opinions. His commentary about the double-mindedness of James' audience rings alarmingly and dangerously true to today.
This is an excellent exposition of James’ Letter. I found it enriched my reading of it, helping me to understand its teaching more fully. Sam Allberry highlights the main themes of the letter, and tackles the difficult passages with both sensitivity and clarity. The whole book is salted with illustrations that shed light on the meaning and application of James’ teaching. The questions at the end of each chapter encourage the reader to apply the lessons learned to our own lives. This is a great addition to the series, fulfilling the aim of helping people to read it both to ...feed and nourish their own faith and lead others to a better grasp of James’ writing.
I would have appreciated an “epilogue”, looking back over the journey travelled – though the book’s final question does point us in that direction. The glossary is a useful addition; but I did note the omission of the word “seminal” from it even though the text implies it should be there. (This is a minor quibble!)
I would recommend this book to anybody wanting to grow in their own faith, or help others develop theirs.
(Review written for 'James For You (ebook)')
Sam Alberry's writing is very clear, straightforward and balanced on this commentary. Well, it's the book of James, but reading his commentary compared to others have both theological and practical depth. It's not too much technical and not too much practical. He has very good, deep, and strong insights on the book of James with very Christ exalting convictions. It was carefully and well-written. It really is straight to the point with pastoral care and is very conversational. I deeply recommend this book for starters, pastors, and those who are in the academe. I love this book.
