Publisher's Summary

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.

What the critics say

“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

Practicing The Way.

St. Benedict would like the song If Today was Your Last Day by Nickleback. I think the best way to live is in the light of the final resurrection and in the light that life is fleeting. To remind myself that I'm going to live in the age to come that is here, now in us and to view this life from that vantage point. The journey to healing begins with naming the illness. Ulcerative Colitis and Schizophrenia. Let the healing begin in Christ Jesus of Nazareth. Amen. Jesus became subject to corruption that he might free us from death and corruption and heal us. Amen.

Work is love made visible; I remember reading this in a book about work I found in the ADC department at Goodwill Industries. Amen.

The church is a whore and she's my mother.. wow.

What would Jesus do if He was me? Good question..

Jesus Christ of Nazareth was not a Christian nor are we to identify Him by His being from a Jewish background but by the fact that He is the 1st born among many.. Amen..

I'm not justified by my good work and yet not justified without good works. I'm not working for righteousness. I'm the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus of Nazareth working..Amen..

The most important thing in life is to love and be loved by God. To let God love us into becoming a people of love. I look at Him and He looks at me. And we're happy. Jesus Christ of Nazareth I wish I experienced that more often.. and keep showing up..

I think the one thing that makes one an apprentice of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is having seen Him resurrected. The disciples knew Him, healed the sick raised the dead- they did it all and up until the end there was one man and a few women at the cross with Him. The change happened in them when they witnessed Him resurrected. I expect nothing less than witnessing the resurrected Christ to change this life that's been given for us in Him. That's what makes the difference.

Overall the performance is smooth. The story is well written. Thank you John Comer.

A call to intentional discipleship for who follow Christ

Great contemplative reading/listening

Love this book. It’s a great read for anyone curious about Jesus and anyone that has believed the truth about Jesus for a long time. It reshapes your understanding of what Jesus asks you to do.
