Synopsis:

ECPA BESTSELLER • In a lonely, fractured culture, Jesus offers a new kind of family. Discover the communal Way of Jesus through this guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way.

Despite the unprecedented connectivity of the modern era, our time is marked by isolation, transience, and superficiality. But Jesus invites his followers into genuine relationships, not just around a stage, but around a table—a place that offers intimacy, joy, healing, and commitment.

Designed to be used with four engaging video sessions freely available online, the Community Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, guided readings, and additional resources to help you and your community.

This guide will equip you to:

• Build rhythms of intentional connection with others
• Create safe spaces in which to share your joys and sorrows
• Confess your brokenness and begin healing
• Develop committed relationships that grow in mature love

Living in community in our time of radical individualism is not always easy—but it’s beautiful, opening us to healing, happiness, and love.

Part of a series of nine core practices that together build a Rule of Life for following Jesus in the modern world, each guide can be read individually or together in any order:
The Sabbath Practice
The Prayer Practice
The Fasting Practice
The Solitude Practice
The Generosity Practice
The Scripture Practice
The Community Practice
The Service Practice
The Witness Practice

About the Author: John Mark Comer is the New York Times bestselling author of eight books, including Practicing the Way, which was named Christian Book of the Year by the ECPA, and The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, which has sold more than a million copies and been translated into over twenty languages. He is a pastor and the founder of Practicing the Way, an organization working to see the renewal of apprenticeship to Jesus in our time. The Comers live in the Santa Monica Mountains just outside Los Angeles.

Practicing the Way helps churches form lifelong apprentices of Jesus. Our free resources are used by thousands of communities and pastors worldwide to help people be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did. Our work is possible thanks to a group of monthly givers called The Circle and other generous givers.
