SO GOOD!
John Mark Comer is a brilliant Pastor who has taught me a lot through his books. I believe this was a great follow up to his famous “Ruthless Elimination of Hurry”. I can not recommend enough!

Deep, but accessible. Philosophical, but practical
This book is essential for followers of Jesus, or for those who want to understand the deep truth behind why Jesus was and is so revolutionary. It’s essential for those who want to follow Jesus, but feel bogged down by the weight of the world, the destructive habits of the flesh, and the devious, subtle tools of the Enemy to destroy the soul. While it’s deeply theological and philosophical, it is also fiercely practical and accessible. John Mark is himself both a prophetic voice for our time, as well as a living library of the ideas and teachings of many of the great followers of Jesus through the church’s history, both present and past. His ability to compile and compress the essence of their teachings for the average 21st-century Jesus-follower in a way that is easily understood, poignant, authentic, and often times humorous cannot be overstated. Thank you, John Mark, for your commitment to Jesus and for writing this book!

Wisdom and Insight for the Daily Fight
I really enjoyed John Mark Comer’s newest book, Live No Lies! He writes with wisdom and insight in a relatable, down-to-earth way. The way he broke down and expounded on the common Christian phrase “the world, the flesh, and the devil” opened my eyes to the insidious spiritual warfare we face daily. He addressed issues and topics we face in our culture and political landscape without leaning more towards one political party; I thought he did a great job sticking to Biblical truth. One of my favorite parts was the summary at the end of each section with definitions, key Scriptures, key points, and a summary of the book as a whole so far. It helps collect your thoughts and have a quick reference point to go back to. The message of this book is one I believe the church desperately needs to hear today. It’s cultural commentary, impactful theology, and practical advice. I highly recommend this book! I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Will not disappoint!
Do you believe there is a spiritual battle? John Mark Comer does and he clearly identifies our enemy as the devil. He balances biblical theology with current events and trends and speaks truth into our contemporary and confused culture. He is an astute observer of people and trends and a brilliant voice for today. Live No Lies tackles the deceptive ideas that surround us and the way these mingle with our desires that have become normal in our society. JMC uses the biblical lens of the world, the flesh, and the devil to demolish the faulty ideas we embrace and live. He calls out the elephant in the room and then he offers hope to identify, to fight, and to defeat these deceptions. I expect this book will turn out to be the best book I read in 2021. I was provided with a digital copy of the book for my honest review.

So timely!
In Live No Lies, John Mark offers a much needed roadmap for spiritual formation amidst our cultural moment of political religiosity, division, and spiritual syncretism. In a time when it’s easy to feel hopeless regarding the alarming rate at which young people are abandoning their faith and suffering abuse at the hands of the church and “Christians,” John Mark offers a hopeful text for those who long to follow the way of Jesus today. His insight on the three enemies of the soul is profound, robust, convicting, and so so timely.

Regain your peace and live in freedom
In his book, Live No Lies, John Mark Comer has offered readers a glimpse behind the curtain to see some of the major driving influences on the lives we live. But, he doesn’t stop there. Instead of simply identifying the problem or the challenges we face, he offers time-tested and battle-proven steps to overcome them. He points out that when we accept lies we subscribe to an “unreality” that appeals to disordered desires which leads to a broken and fallen life. And then he offers practices that we can adopt and implement to find ourselves more grounded in reality, with healthy and ordered desires, to bring greater wholeness to our lives and the world we live in. I definitely recommend this book. It is an easy and enjoyable read that will provoke you to look deeper into the way you see and engage in the world.

A word for today
This book is kindly incisive. It’s punchy, engaging, deep and cuts to the heart of things. There’s so much history, theology, and research behind this framework, but it’s easy to understand, and practical to the core. I haven’t been more personally convicted, while simultaneously given practical tools to grow through a book in a long time.
