On the whole, David Roper would rather be fly-fishing. Fortunately for you, he exchanges his fishing tackle for pen and paper to write with uncommon depth, clarity, and relevance. In Growing Slowly Wise, Roper masterfully lures you to go beneath the surface of the book of James and catch all its timely advise, practical reminders, and inspiration with topics like ""The Poor Rich and the Rich Poor,"" ""The Telltale Tongue,"" and ""Wising Up."" Join David in waders and icy mountain streams and find out if Growing Slowly Wise is as good for the mind and spirit as he claims.

David H. Roper was a pastor for more than 30 years and now directs Idaho Mountain Ministries, a retreat dedicated to the encouragement of pastoral couples.

His favorite biblical character is Calebthat rugged old saint who never retired but ""died climbing.""
