Inspired by John Mark Comer’s New York Times bestseller Practicing the Way, this official companion to the Practicing the Way Course is an eight-session introduction to following Jesus in the modern era.

The Practicing the Way Course, available free online, is designed to lay a foundation for lifelong apprenticeship to Jesus. This full-color companion guide helps you practice, reflect, and dialogue with your community as you walk through the Course together to experience real, lasting transformation.

Inside, you’ll find resources like:

• Helpful tips to get the most out of each session of the Course
• Supplemental resources to dive deeper after each session
• Real-life exercises to help put each session into practice
• Additional prayers and liturgies

John Mark Comeris the founding pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, a teacher and writer with Practicing the Way, and the New York Times bestselling author of multiple books, including Practicing the Way, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, and Live No Lies.

Practicing the Way is a nonprofit that creates spiritual formation resources for churches and small groups learning how to become apprentices of the Way of Jesus. We believe one of the greatest needs of our time is for people to discover how to become lifelong disciples of Jesus. To that end, we help people learn how to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did through the practices and rhythms he and his earliest followers lived by. All of our resources are available for free, thanks to the generosity of The Circle and other givers. The Circle is a group of monthly givers from around the world who partner with us to see formation integrated into the Church at large.
