Practicing The Way

Practicing the Way: Be with Jesus. Become like him. Do as he did Hardcover – 16 Jan. 2024

John Mark Comer, the New York Times bestselling author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry and Live No Lies, shows readers what is holding them back from authentically following Jesus – and reveals the countercultural practices to connect us with a vibrant lifelong faith.

“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 all have experienced unwanted parts of our spiritual journey: distance from God, gaps in our character, the fear that our lives will be trivial and empty… Jesus is calling us into more. Calling us to be shaped in his likeness. To experience his abundance of life.

But how, practically, can we do that? By becoming his apprentice. By practicing the Way.

Outlining the timeless process of being with Jesus, becoming like him, and living as he did, bestselling author and pastoral voice John Mark Comer delineates God’s vision for the journey of our soul.

In this powerful and practical work, he defines his core philosophy of spiritual formation to help us form a “rule of life.”

Along the way, readers benefit from his rich cultural insight, deep biblical teaching, and honest and hopeful view of the potential of each human soul.

You feel like there’s more to life than this? You’re right. Now come discover just how much life awaits you.

HOPE

HOPE: The Autobiography Hardcover – 14 Jan. 2025

The groundbreaking, intimate and inspiring memoir from Pope Francis.

Books of the Year 2025: The Times, Telegraph, Guardian, Independent, Financial Times, New Statesman

‘Remarkable’ Guardian

‘Elegant and joyful’ Financial Times

Pope Francis originally intended this exceptional book to appear only after his death, but the needs of our times and the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope have moved him to make this precious legacy available now.

HOPE is the first autobiography in history ever to be published by a Pope. Written over six years, this complete autobiography starts in the early years of the twentieth century, with Pope Francis’s Italian roots and his ancestors’ courageous migration to Latin America, continuing through his childhood, the enthusiasms and preoccupations of his youth, his vocation, adult life, and the whole of his papacy up to the present day.

In recounting his memories with intimate narrative force (not forgetting his own personal passions), Pope Francis deals unsparingly with some of the crucial moments of his papacy and writes candidly, fearlessly and prophetically about some of the most important and controversial questions of our present times: war and peace (including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East), migration, environmental crisis, social policy, the position of women, sexuality, technological developments, the future of the Church and of religion in general.

HOPE includes a wealth of revelations, anecdotes and illuminating thoughts. It is a thrilling and very human memoir, moving and sometimes funny, which represents the ‘story of a life’ and, at the same time, a touching moral and spiritual testament that will fascinate readers throughout the world and will be Pope Francis’s legacy of hope for future generations.

For a generation searching desperately for authentic spiritual experiences, there’s good news: the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence is freely available.

Along the way, readers will:

– learn about common misperceptions that keep believers and churches from experiencing the fullness of the Holy Spirit’s power and presence;
– discover how the Spirit brings discernment and access to miraculous power to partner with God in the work he’s doing in the world;
– reckon with the indispensable role of spiritual experience for walking with God; andunderstand how both Word and Spirit work together to draw people into a vibrant, intimate knowledge of God.

The Familiar Stranger will challenge, inform, and encourage believers from every background to become more deeply acquainted with the Person and work of the Holy Spirit – and experience his transformative, life-giving power in their lives.
