Christianity is a faith that must be put into practice. Although God saves His people through faith alone in Christ alone, that faith never remains alone. True saving faith makes a difference in our lives as we seek to obey our Savior and Lord. The Apostle James provides some of Scripture’s clearest guidance on how Christians should both hear what God has revealed and do what His Word commands. During this eight-day study cruise, Ligonier Teaching Fellows Drs. W. Robert Godfrey and Derek Thomas will lead us through James 1 against the breathtaking landscape of Alaska. As we study the Apostle’s essential teachings on the character of God, we will be joyfully motivated to act on His Word and to live for His glory.

About Ligonier Tours
One of the best ways you can learn about a person or even an event is being there—to be on site. We can certainly learn from reading and studying. We can even create the scene in our mind’s eye. But nothing brings a person or an event to life like being there. Ligonier Tours takes you to the places where significant events occurred, events that have shaped history. You can literally walk in the footsteps of our heroes of the past, of Luther, of Calvin, of Jonathan Edwards. You will meet these figures in ways you have never met them before.
Ligonier’s Teaching Fellows and other ministry leaders serve as your guides as you explore these important sites. On these tours, you’ll have time with these trusted teachers over a meal or at the sites along the journey. You will also have rich times of fellowship with your fellow travelers, meeting kindred spirits and making friendships.
Ligonier Tours brings the past to life, they serve to encourage us as disciples in our own day, and they offer us reminders that we are not alone, but that we are on our pilgrim journey together.
