James - Focus on the Bible
I recommend Chris Morgan's and Dale Ellenburg's James: Wisdom for the Community to serious students of the Word of God, especially pastors, for five reasons. First, the commentary is closely tied to the text of Scripture. It majors on what a commentary ought to major on-the exposition of Holy Scripture. Second, the writing is clear and accessible. Readers will not be put off by technical nomenclature. Third, unlike many biblical commentaries, this one is theological. It does not skirt the hard issues. It reverberates with the themes of wisdom for the community and the necessity of consistency in the lives of God's people, themes needed to be heard today, as much as by James's original audience. Fourth, it is full of illustrations from Scripture and life that help readers grasp the truth. Fifth, the biblical exposition is applied to life, in a way that James would have approved. All in all, this is a solid and useful commentary written by two pastor-scholars to help the church be the church as God intended.

Word to the World
'The publication of Word to the World is a cause for rejoicing. The book is marked by both variety and constancy. Running through all this variety, though, are certain constants: good writing; a combination of forthrightness and fairness; prudence and much wise counsel; a reverent, even worshipful, tone; and above all, the fruitfulness of a mind and heart devoted to the Bible. Indeed, Will Barker's attitude toward and use of the Bible in this collection makes one think of the good old biblical name that we used to use for the Word of God-the Holy Scriptures (2 Tim 3:15).'
