Publisher's Summary

New York Times Best Seller

The best-selling author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry equips readers to recognize and resist the lies that seek to rob them of peace and freedom.

Live No Lies is brilliant, deep, scriptural, and will equip you to face the enemy and fight.” (Jennie Allen, New York Times best-selling author of Get Out of Your Head)

We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies.

The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies but that we live them. We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace. All around us in the culture and deep within our own body memories are lies: deceptive ideas that wreak havoc on our emotional health and spiritual well-being, and deceptive ideas about who God is, who we are, and what the good life truly is.

The choice is not whether to fight or not fight, but whether we win or surrender.

Ancient apprentices of Jesus developed a paradigm for this war; they spoke of the three enemies of the soul: the devil, the flesh, and the world. Live No Lies taps into this ancient wisdom from saints of the Way and translates the three enemies for the modern era, with all its secularism and sophistication. As a generation, we chuckle at the devil as a premodern myth, we are confused by Scripture’s teaching on the flesh in an age where sensual indulgence is a virtue not a vice, and we have little to no category for the New Testament concept of the world.

In this provocative and practical book, bestselling author John Mark Comer combines cultural analysis with spiritual formation. He identifies the role lies play in our spiritual deformation and lays out a strategic plan to overcome them.

Do you feel the tug-of-war in your own heart, the inner conflict between truth and lies? The spirit and the flesh? The Way of Jesus and the world? It’s time to start winning. It’s time to live no lies...

What the critics say

“This is the book I’ve been waiting for and one of the most important books a follower of Jesus will ever read. It will become a classic.” (Christine Caine, founder of A21 and Propel Women)

“John Mark Comer is a gift to the church. He writes with adept cultural nuance, theological savvy, and refreshing spiritual depth. In Live No Lies, he’s taken on a multilayered, ancient topic and brilliantly rearticulated it for our generation. This is a gem.” (Rich Villodas, lead pastor of New Life Fellowship and author of The Deeply Formed Life)

“In a time that feels full of contradictions and confusion, John Mark does a masterful job of laying out what is true, what true is, and why it matters deeply that we know the truth. This is the book for our day.” (Annie F. Downs, New York Times best-selling author of That Sounds Fun)

Good book, not sure what to do with it

Comer is great. This book is great.
it's about resisting the world/self/Satan's influences.

I wonder if it might have struck deeper/as deeply as "the relentless elimination of hurry" if it had been more existentially laced with Comer's story, fears, and desires?

A Narrative For This Cultural Moment

John Mark is a gift to our generation. He has a loving approach to the soul piercing thesis of this book. It’s not an easy listen by any means - it’s heavy at times, but it’s an important listen to anyone trying to practice apprenticeship to Jesus in their lives.

Essential for believers

A very good foundation for a true believer to live by. You don’t hear this type of teaching in modern churches!

Take up your cross....

Thought provoking, challenging, yet encouraging to seek Jesus and His way of life!! Jesus is calling us for full surrender, offering peace, not as the world describes it! It is about inner peace, in a chaotic world.

Incredible book on living a full life by dying to ourselves!

John Mark once again delivers a life changing presentation on Jesus’ call to die to self and to save our souls from the lies of the Flesh, the World and the Devil.

Theoretically promising, poorly chosen political examples

While this book was quite strong in pointing out the tactics of the enemy and making the listener aware of the lies and propaganda that is liberally being spread around the world right now, I found some of the examples he used overtly political, and it really grated my mind as I was trying to get through this book. I would hope that the one trying to teach me how to live no lies through his book would, he himself, be mostly free of such beliefs. I am extremely cautious of which voices I allow to speak into my life, but unfortunately his positions has raised enough red flags that I cannot ignore. Had he avoided using such examples, I might have been able to get through this book. But as it is, I couldn't make it though the 2 hour mark.
