Faith with Work Boots On, by Maury D. Wood II

Author: Sky High Podcast Network April 4, 2026 Duration: 15:51

Today, Roberta talks to Maury D. Wood II about his new book Faith With Work Boots On: A 7-Week Journey Through The Book of James.


If you’re looking for a devotional written from a quiet office with a polished desk, warm lamplight, and a pastor’s chair that costs more than your first semester of college…this isn’t that book.

This is faith learned in the real world.

Faith shaped in garages, on flag football and soccer fields, at kitchen tables, and during afternoon conversations with kids who think “shut up” is the S-word.
Faith handed down by grandparents who lived it, strengthened by parents who modeled it, and tested in everyday moments where patience runs thin and grace matters most.

The book of James doesn’t sprinkle encouragement like confetti.
It hands you a pair of work boots and says, “Let’s live this out.”

Faith With Work Boots On is a 7-week devotional journey through James, written for people who want their faith to show up in real life — not just in church, but at home, at work, and in their relationships.
