Practicing the Way
Be with Jesus. Become like him. Do as he did.
By John Mark Comer
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.
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.

Curious Contemplative
Daring to Discover New Depths with God
By Chris Webb
Chris Webb offers a thoughtful and practical exploration of contemplative spiritual practices for those who long for a richer experience of God.
Do you hunger for a richer experience of God, but just don’t know where to start?
You’re not alone. Many are aching to move beyond the superficialities that seem to plague so much of Church life and instead turn back to the contemplative spiritual practices of silence, solitude and stillness to help cultivate a deeper relationship with God, others and themselves.
In Curious Contemplative, Chris Webb invites you to join him in a thoughtful exploration of Christian contemplation. Following the remarkable journey of Elijah from attention seeking self-appointed leader to reflective and deep-rooted contemplative, he explores what we can learn from this story and how we can incorporate such spiritual disciplines into our own lives.
Journeying through crisis, revelation and transformation, Curious Contemplative is an ideal guide for anyone looking to explore contemplative spiritual practices for the first time or wanting ideas for revitalising and strengthening their relationship with God.
Filled with practical advice as well as discussion questions and Biblical exploration, Curious Contemplative will help you to engage confidently with the contemplative tradition so that you can live a deeper, richer life of prayer.

The Inspiration of Abraham in an Age of Doubt
By John C. Lennox
This richly detailed account of the life and times of Abraham adds depth to our understanding of this pivotal figure in God's plan of salvation - both for us and for the whole world.
Abraham is the only character in the Bible to be described as 'the friend of God'. This comprehensive study by John Lennox explores why.
Abraham is unquestionably one of the most outstanding and influential figures in world history. He had no political or military achievements, and he left no literary remains, yet today billions of people - more than half of the world's population - claim him as their spiritual father.
Throughout the Bible, Abraham is seen as a pivotal figure in God's plan of salvation. In this richly detailed account of his life and times, John Lennox helps us to see through mists of the past to the real flesh-and-blood man, with all his strengths and weaknesses, to better appreciate all that Abraham stands for as a model of faith today.
