Practicing the Way

Be with Jesus. Become like him. Do as he did.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry calls us to rediscover the path that leads to a deeper life with God.

“One of the most important books I have read in a decade . . . If we would all follow in this way, our lives would change and the world would change.”—Jennie Allen, author of Get Out of Your Head and Find Your People

We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice.

To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.

This introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life.

These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus. We can be with him. Become like him. And do as he did.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“In this spacious, eminently readable volume, John Mark Comer meditates on how Christian discipleship is, at its root, the radical task of becoming an apprentice of Jesus—to be with him, to become like him, and to do as he did. The deceptively simple call is to take Jesus at his word, to open ourselves fully to him, to organize our schedules, our routines, our study, our daily practices around him, and, by doing so, to become people who can do as he would in our day and our culture. Comer’s experiences as a pastor, teacher, thinker, and an apprentice himself are helpfully on display here. Sit with this book slowly and let it be your guide into a life of apprenticeship to Jesus.” —Tish Harrison Warren, Anglican priest and author of Liturgy of the Ordinary and Prayer in the Night

“I love John Mark Comer’s vision for life—to be with Jesus, become more like him, and aspire to do what Jesus would do. This book can help us all in our own walk with Jesus.” —Nicky Gumbel, pioneer of Alpha

“In Practicing the Way, John Mark Comer brilliantly shows us what it means to follow Jesus, and here is the best part: As you read, you will want nothing more than to be on Jesus’ heels. We are a disciple-less generation, and yet, walking this closely with Jesus is our way back to the purpose of life. This is one of the most important books I have read in a decade, and if we would all follow in this way, our lives would change and the world would change.” —Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head and Find Your People and founder and visionary of IF:Gathering

Beautiful expression of our faith

Comer does a great job of sharing the love of Christ without wrapping it in politics, or denominational doctrines. He just challenges us to look at the Way of Jesus, and emulate Him.

Practical steps to live life worthy of the calling Christ has given!

John Mark Comer writes his books, and very similar manner to the way he preaches. It’s easy to understand, easy to take notes, easy to retain. Highly recommended book on how one should model discipleship in their own life.

Authentic and practical alignment

Transformative information for aligning my perspective as an apprentice to Jesus. Practical instruction on how to begin.

Amen

Let it be so, in my life and the life of all Christians. May we desire to apprentice under King Jesus. John Mark has such a gentle way of communicating the mercy of God through the gift of grace we have in Jesus. The intellectual gifts that the Lord has given John Mark are clearly displayed in his study, and practical teaching to help Christians live an abundant life. I am immensely thankful for how this book and “The ruthless elimination of hurry” have helped transform my mind and feed my soul. Read, reread and put into practice!
