Narrado por: John Mark Comer

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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

Beautiful expression of our faith

Comer does a great job of sharing the love of Christ without wrapping it in politics, or denominational doctrines. He just challenges us to look at the Way of Jesus, and emulate Him.

Practical steps to live life worthy of the calling Christ has given!

John Mark Comer writes his books, and very similar manner to the way he preaches. It’s easy to understand, easy to take notes, easy to retain. Highly recommended book on how one should model discipleship in their own life.

Practical book on becoming more like Jesus

This is such a good book to help believers in Jesus put daily practices in their lives that point our hearts and souls to Jesus. In a world so full of distractions these practices feel attainable with the gentle reminder that it will be a life long journey

The practical application of being Jesus’ apprentice

I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone, no matter in which season of your journey with Jesus you may find yourself. It will startle and amaze, challenge and encourage you! Wonderful for new believers and mature believers alike. I have walked with Jesus for 60 years and this book still challenged me!

This excellent book helps us understand how to be an apprentice of Jesus and not settle for simply being religious or a superficial Christian.

It is challenging, yet gives practical steps to follow the way of Jesus and enter into a more intimate relationship with the Trinity.

Many “WOW” moments when listening to the book prompted me to buy the hard copy so I can take notes and revisit the useful advice and teachings.

This book is worth every penny. And I bought 10 additional copies for Pastors, family, and friends. My church is now doing a small group based on the book and all our Pastoral Leadership have been using it as devotional together.

Authentic and practical alignment

Transformative information for aligning my perspective as an apprentice to Jesus. Practical instruction on how to begin.
