Jesus Is No Excuse
The Words and Verses of Gregory St. James

By Gregory St. James
Review by Cheri Clay   


 As Christians we all face questions and struggles as our faith is tested everyday. Satan is out to stop us any way he can. In this powerful little book (only 124 pages) that you could read in just one sitting, author Gregory St. James sets out to answer some of life’s most difficult questions, such as why do good things happen to bad people, why are some people born mentally or physically deformed and why some people are rich, while others are poor?

The author has done an excellent job on these teachings as well, such as in the chapter on the Ten Commandments, explaining more in detail about each one and why we are to follow them; also the chapters on faith and the devil are excellent reads as well.

A good read for teens and adults alike who are seeking to enhance their spiritual knowledge, also excellent for debate and church teachings on these subjects.

This reviewer cannot agree with everything the author has written especially on such subjects as homosexuality, why Jesus was crucified and about Jesus’ resurrection, as I myself have different beliefs. So with that I cannot give this book an excellent rating, as it is meant to teach and inform, but will admit the book is excellently written and easy to understand. Keeping that in mind if you read this inspirational book with Bible in hand and remember it is just one man’s opinion and not by any means the final word on any of these subjects, Jesus Is No Excuse is a good read and study guide for some. The Verses of St. James in the back of the book are excellent words of poetry and a great inspiration to ponder upon. Also don’t miss the “Last Words,” for they are so profound and will have you pondering your own life. So read for yourself the words of St. James and reach your own conclusions, as I guarantee it will at least leave you thinking and possibly searching for more.
