You’ve heard people say, “Who you are matters more than what you do.” But does the Bible really teach us that?¬†Join pastor and bestselling author John Mark Comer in¬†Garden City¬†as he guides twenty- and thirty-somethings through understanding and embracing their God-given calling.

In¬†Garden City, John Mark Comer gives a surprisingly countercultural take on the typical “spiritual” answer the church gives in response to questions about purpose and calling. Comer explores Scripture to discover God’s original intent for how we’re meant to spend our time, reshaping how you view and engage in your work, rest, and life.

In these pages, you’ll learn that, ultimately, what we do matters just as much as who we are.¬†Garden City¬†will help you find answers to questions like:

• Does God care where I work?
• Does he have a clear direction for me?
• How can I create a practice of rest?

Praise for Garden City:

“In¬†Garden City, John Mark Comer takes the reader on a journey–from creation to the final heavenly city. But the journey is designed to let each of us see where we are to find ourselves in God’s good plan to partner with us in the redemption of all creation. There is in¬†Garden City¬†an intoxication with the Bible’s biggest and life-changing ideas.”

–Scot McKnight, Julius R. Mantey Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary

 

God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light–focusing on what God says about himself. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way.¬†

In God Has a Name, John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8–Yahweh’s self-revelation on Mount Sinai, one of the most quoted passages in the Bible. Along the way, Comer addresses some of the most profound questions he came across as he studied these noted lines in Exodus, including:

• Why do we feel this gap between us and God?
• Could it be that a lot of what we think about God is wrong? Not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we relate to him?
• What if our “God” is really a projection of our own identity, ideas, and desires?
• What if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine?

No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, the act of learning who God is just might surprise you–and change everything.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The bestselling author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry equips readers to recognize and resist the lies that seek to rob them of peace and freedom.
 
“Live No Lies is brilliant, deep, scriptural, and will equip you to face the enemy and fight.”—Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head

We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies.
 
The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies but that we live them. We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace. All around us in the culture and deep within our own body memories are lies: deceptive ideas that wreak havoc on our emotional health and spiritual well-being, and deceptive ideas about who God is, who we are, and what the good life truly is.
 
The choice is not whether to fight or not fight, but whether we win or surrender.

Ancient apprentices of Jesus developed a paradigm for this war; they spoke of the three enemies of the soul: the devil, the flesh, and the world. Live No Lies taps into this ancient wisdom from saints of the Way and translates the three enemies for the modern era, with all its secularism and sophistication. As a generation, we chuckle at the devil as a premodern myth, we are confused by Scripture’s teaching on the flesh in an age where sensual indulgence is a virtue not a vice, and we have little to no category for the New Testament concept of the world.
 
In this provocative and practical book, bestselling author John Mark Comer combines cultural analysis with spiritual formation. He identifies the role lies play in our spiritual deformation and lays out a strategic plan to overcome them.
 
Do you feel the tug-of-war in your own heart, the inner conflict between truth and lies? The spirit and the flesh? The Way of Jesus and the world? It’s time to start winning. It’s time to live no lies…

The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies but that we live them. You are at war against lies. . .but you can defeat them.

The Live No Lies: Audio Bible Studies draws from biblical truth and the wisdom of past saints to help you see how each of our soul’s enemies–the devil, the flesh, and the world–rob us of hope; sabotage our peace; and wreak havoc on our physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

You’ll learn how to unmask these lies and develop a strategy to fight back against deception by standing firmly on the truth we believe.

This audio study with bestselling author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry John Mark Comer looks at specific ways lies infiltrate your life and how you can eradicate them with the living truth of God’s Word and the ancient wisdom of the saints. Together, they will help you win the war so that the truth sets you free from the lies that have been holding you back.

Finally–a theology of love that will help you navigate the confusing waters of modern relationship.

In the beginning, God created Adam. Then he made Eve. And ever since we’ve been picking up the pieces.

This is a book for singles, engaged couples, and the newly married–both inside¬†and outside¬†the church–who want to learn what the Scriptures have to say about sexuality and relationships. For those who are tired of Hollywood’s propaganda, and the church’s silence.

ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life
 
“As someone all too familiar with ‘hurry sickness,’ I desperately needed this book.”—Scott Harrison, New York Times best-selling author of Thirst
 
“Who am I becoming?”
 
That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words:
 
“Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.”
 
It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was—and continues to be—the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil.
 
Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.
