About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

“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

A very practical approach to Christianity

Comer does an excellent job of reminding us that true spirituality is a work of God that requires our cooperation.

The simplicity and truth of the content.

Great overview of a new way to live and love

It is great to have a succinct reference to demystify so many spiritual practices. This work has been a healing validation to my soul’s deepest longings and journey into various practices of which I experienced little in church. I pray and hope that this way of transformed living will bring renewal and grounding and inspire a new generation of Jesus followers and labors to our communities of faith.

Clear invitation to draw near to and follow Jesus

I liked how clear John writes, drawing us into an actual regular walk with Jesus for our everyday life. It was easy to understand and motivating to take action.

Apprenticeship/Discipleship to Jesus in 2024

Comer is bringing his depth of study, experience, and aspirations of discipleship to this book. It is very much aimed and influenced by his northwestern American context. This book is thoughtful, practical, and needed in our day. Glad to have this in the conversation about what modern followers of Jesus should look like, act like, live like, and ultimately love like.

Becoming an apprentice of Christ

This book serves as a reference for those who want to live a life under the tutelage of Christ. Those who want to be set apart and different from this world. Those who want to be apprentices of Jesus. This is an excellent read with many key points of discovery towards a more fulfilling and abundant life in Christ.
