This book had been highly recommended to us by a member of our Bible study group. Not long after, our pastors decided to offer the Practicing the Way study as a Lenten study. My husband and I were fortunate to be asked to serve as discussion hosts for the study. While only the companion book was required, we decided to go ahead and purchase a Kindle copy of Practicing the Way, and were so glad that we did. It is easy to see why this book was named the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association's (ECPA) Christian Book of the Year for 2025. We've all heard the phrase about knowing your why. For those who know their why is based on Jesus Christ, this book helps us to know our how. John Mark Comer outlines practices that Jesus regularly practiced, and explains how, as apprentices of Jesus, our regularly doing these same practices will bring us into a closer relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The book is written as if Comer is speaking directly to the reader. Throughout the book he quotes numerous scholars from a wide variety of disciplines. The reading of Practicing the Way is life changing, and can become even more impactful by utilizing the resources on the .org website of the same title. It is a wonderful book to read alone, but one that it is even better read within a small group. I most highly recommend Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer.
