Practicing the Way: Be with Jesus. Become like him. Do as he did.

Description:

WINNER OF ECPA’S CHRISTIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD • 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.


Editorial Reviews

Review

“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

“In
Practicing the Way, John Mark Comer offers us a portrait of following Jesus that is as profound and compelling as it is simple. Be prepared to take an honest look at your own life habits and prayerfully ask, What kind of person am I becoming and Is it more like Jesus or less? Here you will find a beautiful picture of the kind of life Jesus envisioned for his followers and a practical pathway to experience it for yourself.”—Tim Mackie, co-founder of BibleProject

“This is the book that I want everyone in my church to read. It is an invitation deeper for the lifelong follower of Jesus, and the perfect primer for the new believer. Somehow, in a way only John Mark can do, he has plunged the depths of the gospel invitation in a way that is relatable, accessible, and readable for the everyday seeker.”
—Tyler Staton, lead pastor of Bridgetown Church

“Herein is a window to the meaning and significance of life that only Jesus affords. John Mark has given us the antidote to failed religion and generational hypocrisy. Read it slowly. Be changed deeply.”
—Rev. Dr. Charlie Dates, senior pastor of Salem Baptist Church of Chicago and Progressive Baptist Church, Chicago

5.0 out of 5 stars A Practical and Inspiring Call to Spiritual Formation

B.C. · March 1, 2025

John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way is a compelling and accessible guide to following Jesus through intentional spiritual disciplines. With clarity and warmth, Comer presents a vision of discipleship that moves beyond belief into daily practice, helping readers cultivate habits that lead to true transformation.What makes this book stand out is its balance of biblical depth, cultural relevance, and practical application. Comer weaves together Scripture, history, and personal experience in a way that is both thought-provoking and deeply encouraging. His writing is engaging and approachable, making complex ideas easy to understand and apply.For those desiring a life shaped by the way of Jesus, this book is an invaluable resource. Highly recommended for anyone serious about spiritual formation and as a broad introduction to teachings of classic Christian Mystics. Five stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for those new to faith or wanting to strengthen their faith

k. · October 16, 2024

John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way is based on the premise that all of us are daily being formed by our habits and beliefs. This book is, above all, a call for Christians (or really anyone) to examine their life and ask what it is you are being formed by. Practicing the Way describes a lifestyle where one is, as Comer labels it, an “apprentice” to Jesus. Rather than your faith just being a statement you make professing your belief in order to get to heaven, apprenticeship to Jesus is a daily practice that deepens your relationship with God, resulting in a transformation by God’s love and peace into you becoming a more loving and peaceful person.I really enjoyed this book and Comer’s writing style. His short, simple sentences and paragraphs make it easily digestible. There is some history given as well as background/translation on a few Greek words used in the original Biblical manuscript. His book is also full of quotes/references regarding spiritual formation from other theologians, pastors and psychologists. I also appreciated that he takes into account that each person’s relationship with Jesus will look different based on personal likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses and season of life. He gives guidelines and suggestions for this lifestyle of apprenticeship but there are no hard and fast rules.I would recommend Practicing the Way to anyone interested in what Christianity is or those who are Christians and want to renew or strengthen their faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, hard to read the first few chapters.

L. · May 10, 2025

It’s hard to understand the first few chapters. It gets easier to understand and follow as you get farther into the book. It’s a bit daunting in the beginning. It was hard for me to keep reading, but I was part of a book club so I needed to finish it. Overall it was a good book. I love the message. The practices are very understandable and practices. I reccomend this book to other with the preface to them to keep plowing though it, at it gets better. We are following the practices and are online with them following his program. Google Practicing the way to find the companion program. You’ll love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Provides A Great Framework for Spiritual Disciplines

C.M. · August 16, 2024

Another great read from JMC! Bought this book for my husband because he’d mentioned wanting to read it several times before it was even released but I ended up reading it as well. Not quite as directly applicable as some of his other books, but provides a great framework for practices/spiritual disciplines to incorporate into our lives to follow Jesus more closely and written with so much grace and humility! He directly quotes another preacher, teacher, author, etc. A LOT throughout the book, which was not my cup of tea and made the writing a bit choppy in my opinion. BUT, overall worth the read and I’ve already identified areas of my life I can surrender more to the Lord and practices I can work on adding to my daily rhythms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy read with excellent depth of topic.

P.L. · August 30, 2025

I have not finished the book yet, but it highly recommended by two good friends, a lawyer and a doctor. I very much appreciate the method used by the author to break down complex scenarios and dig deep into the subject.

Really clear and straightforward writing

He is an amazing writer making me feel as if I'm talking to a friend in a slightly formal way. Everything he talks about is really well put, making it easy to understand and take in, also allowing me to reflect on my relationship with Jesus and how to stay on track with my faith.

Practicing the Way – Mehr als ein Buch, eher ein geistlicher Kompass

A.S. · April 14, 2025

John Mark Comer hat mit “Practicing the Way” kein weiteres „christliches Selbstoptimierungsbuch“ geschrieben – sondern ein echtes Einladungsschreiben an alle, die spüren: Da muss doch mehr sein als nur der sonntägliche Gottesdienst und der tägliche Stress.Comer schreibt ehrlich, klar und mit einer wohltuenden Mischung aus Tiefgang und Leichtigkeit. Er nimmt den Leser mit auf die Reise der Nachfolge – nicht als To-do-Liste für Superchristen, sondern als Einübung in eine neue Lebensweise. Stille, Gebet, Sabbat, Einfachheit – lauter Begriffe, die man vielleicht kennt, aber hier werden sie greifbar, praktisch und vor allem: lebbar.Was besonders hängen bleibt: Es geht nicht nur um was wir glauben, sondern wie wir unser Leben gestalten. Comer hilft, geistliche Praktiken nicht als frommen Druck, sondern als Einladung zur Freiheit zu sehen. Und das tut richtig gut.Er bringt es auf den Punkt: Jesus nachzufolgen ist kein Konsumprodukt, sondern eine Lebensform. Und Practicing the Way liefert dafür nicht nur Inspiration, sondern auch Anleitung.Fazit:Ein Buch für alle, die Jesus nicht nur bewundern, sondern ihm wirklich folgen wollen – mit ganzem Herzen, mitten im Alltag. Ehrlich, praktisch, herausfordernd – und vor allem: tief ermutigend.5 von 5 Sternen – für suchende Seelen, müde Christen und alle, die glauben, dass Nachfolge mehr sein darf als Theorie.

An absolute delight

A. · March 7, 2024

I must say I'm a fanboy of JMC but with good reason.. the honesty with which he approaches the subject matter is refreshing.. no quick fixes from know it all guru.. but true christlike honesty and humilityIf listened to most of the book twice on Audible.. some parts more.. and still decided to get the book as well.. a lot of the content needs in dept integration into my life.. It does align well with where I'm at in my current journey with Jesus..The fact that every relationship requires proper maintenance.. also one with the Almighty Creator.. is not a very popular subject in the western Church.. but we all need to hear this.. and act on it like there's no tomorrow

A Beacon of Wisdom and Reflection

J.S. · March 27, 2024

In a world brimming with books clamouring for attention, it's rare to find one that captures your interest and enriches your soul. John Mark Comers' latest book is one of those rare gems that leave a lasting impact long after you've turned the last page. His ability to intertwine vast knowledge across different fields while maintaining an engaging and accessible writing style is nothing short of remarkable.What truly sets this book apart is Comers' adeptness at drawing from an expansive well of sources to deepen the narrative. The breadth of perspectives he incorporates broadens the reader's understanding and enriches the journey through the subject matter. As a Pastor, I paused at intervals, reflecting on the profound insights shared. His work serves as a reminder of the necessity to embrace and practice our beliefs amidst the whirlwind that often characterizes ministry.This isn't just a book; it's a masterclass in thoughtful reflection and practical wisdom. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, he invites the reader into a broader, more varied conversation about following Jesus. It's a conversation that not only educates but also transforms.To John Mark Comer, I extend my deepest gratitude. Your book has been a beacon of light in the complexity of ministry, reminding me of the importance of grounding myself in practice and faith. Your contribution is invaluable, and this Pastor thanks you for the reminder to navigate the whirlwind of ministry deeply anchored to The Way. I cannot wait to internalize this and share it with those I have been called to lead.
