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.

John Mark Comer does a great job of teaching discipleship and walking with Jesus. He is down to earth and transparent about his own life. The rule of life seems to be a good idea to me - looking at current habits and honing them to be directing us closer to God.

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.

Great Book

This will be one of my favorite books this year when I recap my reading year, and one I will want to read again. Comer has a way of challenging so gently and warmly that you are encouraged by the thought of changing your habits and not daunted by it. I especially appreciate how the latter quarter of the book gives practical application and examples, this is not one of those books with philosophical aspirations that leaves you wondering “but how would I ever actually do this?”, instead you are left with new ideas for how you really can make small changes with deep impact. Another aspect I loved was reading this book alongside my New Testament in a year, it brought out new perspectives in Jesus’ words when He declared “I am the Way”, and when he was calling the disciples (and us) to follow Him. This book helped bring that call into a relevant modern perspective while staying grounded in truth. It is in some ways a simple read but all the more impactful because of that. Obviously I highly recommend.

Wonderful book

This has to go in my top 3 best books I’ve read in a long time. I am not an avid reader, and am very selective. If a book doesn’t hold my interest I put it down and never pick it up again. This book covers a MOST important and ignored by modern Christian topic: daily obedience to Jesus and the way He wants you to live. He has changed symantics which really puts a better frame of reference on the subject; it is apprenticeship as a synonym for discipleship. The book is filled with quotes that are to the point and timely. I love the emphasis on historical Christians and their writings without it feeling like a dry history lesson. Overall the book kept my attention to the end. I found it thought provoking and I found my self putting it down to ruminate for a few days until I was ready for the next nugget. It also is extremely helpful, with practical things you can do, giving suggestions. I felt like I was gleaning from centuries of Christian thinkers, philosophers, apologists, without have to actually read them!!! I was challenged and inspired to be a better apprentice of Jesus. It is one of the key aspects of Christianity we have lost in today’s society, and MUST get back to! Like I said, one of the top 3-4 books!
