Be Patient
A note on the graphic translation- unlike Jonah, Esther, Amos, or the parables, "James" is not a story. It is a letter written very broadly to the church.
It gives concrete images and understandings on wisdom and how to live faithfully. In creating this visual translation, I have taken the address literally, as a message for the church spread throughout the world, and throughout time.
The chapters move from the first century to the 21st, following the spread of the church as it carries out its mission.

Very interesting depiction of the Letter of James-

I had never run across Earnest Graham's work until seeing it here this morning, and I find this rendering of James to be astonishing, beautiful, and deeply moving. I particularly appreciate the way this presentation slows down the reader's approach to the text, so that we take time to listen to the meaning of each word. Thank you so much for letting a wider audience know about Earnest Graham!
