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.

“If you are an apprentice to Jesus, your end goal is to grow and mature into the kind of person who can do say and do all the things that Jesus said and did.”
Grateful to have been able to receive an advanced copy of this one.
It's hard to put into words the impact John Mark and his ministry efforts have had on my families spiritual life since 2020. Beyond thankful to have stumbled upon his “Verse of the day” clip on YouVersion all those years ago.
Once you get a glimpse into what life with God could/should look like, in regards to Scripture, you cannot unsee it. It's my prayer that the Church continue to dig deeper, to move past spectacle and chase after Christlikeness with all we have.
For His glory alone.
Going to recommend this to many friends and family.
Already looking forward to a re read once my physical copy arrives!
