James-the brother of Jesus-who was this man? What evidence do we have that this ""brother of our Lord"" even existed?

David Kitz digs deep into the biblical texts, archaeology, family dynamics, and church history. What emerges from his research is a portrait of a decisive, pivotal leader who embodied the will and character of Jesus Christ.

But how did James-James the unbeliever-transform to become a leader who changed the course of world history? In these pages you will uncover the answer and rediscover for yourself the life-changing power of the gospel.
