For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4

Forgive the odd question, but what does he mean by "Book of illustrations"? Is it literal (illustrated art books), or something else?
I have the same question brother
