James

In this episode we'll talk about the Book of James. James was an apostle of Jesus Christ, but after the Savior’s mortal ministry had concluded. Christian scholars also believe that he was the half-brother of Jesus, being one of the mortal children of Joseph and Mary. James provides many bits of sound counsel we can use to improve our mental and emotional health. Throughout his writings, he focuses much on the value of showing our faith through our works. We’ll talk about these principles and how they apply to mental health, including how to correct thoughts, take action, and be patient as we wait for change.

But McKay had stipulations: not only would he have full access to the Senator  — he’d also retain full editorial control. To his surprise, Romney agreed, and shortly had given him stacks of journal entries, emails, and texts. They met over 45 times over the coming years for lengthy interviews, and McKay also interviewed many of Romney’s closest friends, family, and colleagues.
