Know your enemy. Know your Commander

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2022

Comer silences the noise and very clearly identifies targets of our spiritual warfare. Knowing who is the enemy is half the battle. The other half is knowing how to fight and win. I love his term, “anti-counter culture”. Jesus was not against “culture”, He was for re-instituting the culture God designed in creation. He ushers in the new creation by His death and resurrection and transforms and initiates us into this new creation/Kingdom by giving us life. We are now to reckon ourselves alive to God and dead to sin by the inner power of the Holy Spirit. Comer breaks all of this out in very accessible and profound ways anyone can understand. I love his concluding thoughts which leave no wiggle room. It is a plea for the “already” Jesus-followers to get back on the path of living no lies and a call for the “not yet” Jesus-followers to start walking the path of Jesus. I have recommended this book to many people.

Looks like a cheap China knockoff.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 1, 2022

Was excited to wait and get a hardcover copy, with the hopes of one day getting it signed by the author. I’d be embarrassed to ask him to sign it. Looks and feels like a cheap black and white copy that was shrunk down from the original size.
Wish I would have gotten the authentic Softcopy.
3 stars because I think the info is still the same.

Thought provoking

Really learned a lot, especially the chapter on the devil. The workbook at the end is truly valuable. One bone to pick: John Mark Comer says that the church values diversity and inclusion and cares for the poor is more associated with liberal values. Studies show that Republicans are more generous that Democrats. And, people in business know that if a minority wants a mentor, befriend a conservative. Conservatives will bend over backward to help.

Of course, this isn’t universal and politics have nothing to do with Christianity. Saints and sinners all around. But Comer needs to come up with better examples of where conservatives come up short. These examples of weakness are strengths.

Great message; too many compound complex sentences.

The companion video helped the reader understand the message. The goal of a nonfiction writer is to present their central idea with clarity. Comer was not particularly successful. A reader shouldn't have to seek out a secondary source to bring meaning to nonfiction text.

A Guide to Joy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2022

A beautifully written call to a radical journey toward inner peace. A book that renews the simple message that contentment, fulfillment and purpose in life are not found in chasing and conquest in the world around us but rather in the battle of competing ideas especially those within. I believe it is a book that will encourage the reader to action, towards transformation. I feel in my case it settles the issue that Christ’s invitation to follow Him is a lifelong journey. Discovering the joy of Gods presence is also in simple submission of my will in obedience to Him in this moment.

Clear and nice read

It's good to be remembered about our position in Jesus. Sometimes we make a big deal about the difficulties we faces, relationship, loneliness and so on but the way out to all those things is simple.
So simple that you tend to not believe it. Thank you John for the explanations and notes about the spiritual warfare. We already have what we have to be happy if only we could stop to believe lies and be deceitful by our own way of living.

Good book but problem with Bonhoeffer reference

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

I feel churlish for writing this, but Bonhoeffer was not executed by a firing squad - at least, not according to Eric Metaxas’ biography. He was hanged, and he wasn’t stripped naked either, at least not when he died. It’s a shame that Pastor Comer didn’t check that more carefully, especially given how important Bonhoeffer is and was.

Other than that, this book is very helpful. Thank you for writing it.

Nothing original but deeply impactful

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2021

There’s not too much in this book that I haven’t heard before. A lot of that may just be we are listening to similar voices but with that said I still enjoyed this book and will be recommending it to other group leaders whose groups are wrestling with similar lies within their groups.

One of the best Christian living books I've read in a long time.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2022

Comer's biblical interpretation is a bit suspect at times, and his theological ambiguity can be frustrating. However, he views as his greatest contribution his work on spiritual formation in a secular age, and this is where this book absolutely nails it.

He has his finger on the pulse of the post-Christian West's felt needs (anxiety, fear, depression, anger, isolation). He understands the real needs behind the felt needs (tools to fight the three enemies of the human soul, the world, the flesh, and the devil). He helpfully and faithfully retrieves the resources the church has used since ancient times to fight those three enemies (Bible study and prayer, fasting and confession, church involvement). And he communicates it all in a way that is accessible and understandable to the contemporary reader.

This is one of the best new Christian living books I've read in a long time.

Live No Lies

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 7, 2022

Live No Lies
A well-written book about telling the truth and why we need to do so. Often, we hear lies that sound so much like the truth, that we accept them as truth.

Such an important read!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 5, 2021

This may be one of the most important books you could read this year! In a world that villainizes people, Comer identifies the devil, the flesh, and the world as the real enemies that sabotage peace. The book is tirelessly researched, yet Comer never loses his own voice, which rings like a chat with a wise old friend. In Live No Lies, Comer walks you through his points, clear, and practical, but never loses a sense of hope. Definitely worth your time and attention!
