Practicing the Way

Practicing the Way invites readers to reconsider what it truly means to follow Jesus. John Mark Comer makes the case that faith was never meant to be reduced to belief alone. Instead, it is an embodied journey of becoming — learning to live as Jesus lived, love as he loved, and see the world as he saw it. Through intentional habits, inner transformation, and daily surrender, discipleship becomes a lifelong process rather than a one-time decision.

Ultimately, the book calls for a return to depth in a shallow age. Comer reminds readers that transformation does not happen accidentally. It happens through practice, patience, and presence. By choosing to apprentice under Jesus — not merely admire him — people are invited into a way of life marked by peace, love, and genuine flourishing that no modern substitute can provide.

John Mark Comer is a pastor, teacher, and author known for exploring the intersection of spiritual formation and modern life. He previously served as the founding pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, where his teaching focused on countercultural discipleship in a fast-paced, digital world.

Through his writing and teaching, Comer emphasizes ancient spiritual practices adapted for contemporary life, helping readers rediscover depth, meaning, and transformation in an age of distraction.
