Wer ist Gott? - Was wir auf diese Frage antworten, ist wie ein Spiegel unserer eigenen Seele. John Mark Comer hält uns diesen Spiegel vor. Meisterhaft und wohlwollend, aber klar: Er führt uns zu der Stelle der Geschichte von Gott und den Menschen, wo sich Yahwe dieser Erde das erste Mal direkt vorstellt. Persönlich, mit Namen. Was sagt sein Name über ihn aus? Wie ist er denn nun wirklich? Dieser Gott, den wir lieben und hassen, anbeten und lästern, dem wir vertrauen und den wir fürchten, an den wir glauben und an dem wir zweifeln, in dessen Namen wir fluchen und vor dem wir uns beugen, über den wir Witze machen und die meiste Zeit ignorieren? Er ist gnädig, barmherzig. Gelassen, nicht leicht reizbar. Reich an Gnade, treu. Absolut gerecht. Er ist der, der einfach nicht aufhört, bis wir vollkommen frei sind. Haben wir ihn die ganze Zeit unterschätzt? Ein Buch, das den Horizont erweitert, uns zurück ins Wort Gottes zieht, das Herz und Verstand öffnet.

We all have experienced unwanted parts of our spiritual journey: distance from God, gaps in our character, the fear that our lives will be trivial and empty. Jesus is calling us into more. Calling us to be shaped in his likeness. To experience his abundance of life. But how, practically, can we do that? By becoming his apprentice. By practicing the Way. Outlining the timeless process of being with Jesus, becoming like him, and living as he did, bestselling author and pastoral voice John Mark Comer delineates God's vision for the journey of our soul. In this powerful and practical work, he defines his core philosophy of spiritual formation to help us form a "rule of life." Along the way, readers benefit from his rich cultural insight, deep biblical teaching, and honest and hopeful view of the potential of each human soul. You feel like there's more to life than this? You're right. Now come discover just how much life awaits you.

Hier geht es darum, eine Vision wiederzufinden. Eine Vision, die seit Ewigkeiten im Herz Gottes verborgen ist. Eine Vision, die Sinn, Ziel und Fokus gibt, wie wir hier und jetzt ganzheitlich Mensch sein können. Wie wir die guten Kreisläufe wiederfinden, die Gott im Garten Eden eingeführt hat. Damit sich sein Überfluss an Leben, Frieden und Wohlbefinden multipliziert! Dafür gibt er uns einen Auftrag: die Erde mit diesem Leben zu füllen. Und einen Rhythmus: Arbeit und Ruhe. Und einen Weg: zu herrschen, in seiner versöhnten, göttlichen, elternschaftlichen Art.

In this four-session video Bible study, John Mark Comer discusses the power of Satan's lies and encourages believers to take up the armor of spiritual warfare, make a stand, and fight back with God's truth.

"The bestselling author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry equips readers to recognize the lies and resist the forces that seek to steal their happiness, wholeness, and holiness"--Publisher's description

ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life—from the New York Times bestselling author of Practicing the Way “Prophetic, practical, and profoundly life giving . . . provides a way forward that creates hope, hunger, and a vision of a beautiful life. I consider this required reading.”—Jon Tyson, lead pastor of the Church of the City New York and author of Beautiful Resistance “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.

In God Has a Name pastor and writer, John Mark Comer, shares a fresh yet ancient way to understand God. Comer speaks to today's seekers and believers trying to understand who God is and what He's like by focusing on God's own powerful statement about himself.

Why our churches are shrinking: "In the discomfort between orthodox Christian faith and twenty-first century western dogma, we are tempted to do what it takes to make the pressure go away, to acquiesce on the beliefs that grate against contemporary sensibilities. For Christians raised under the ethic of relevance--the desire to prove believers can be both holy and cool--the pressure is too much. Some compartmentalize their beliefs into an orthodox/secularist mashup; others simply disappear into the ghostly embrace of secularity." - Mark Sayers Disappearing Church is a direct answer to the most pressing question facing church leaders today: How do we make disciples who stay the course? Full of real stories and actionable insights, Disappearing Church is a guide for disciple-making in a highly secularized society. God will grow His church and protect its purity, but He will use us to do it. Are you up for the challenge?

Garden City, by John Mark Comer, is a fresh take on our work, our calling, and finding our purpose. Comer explores the scriptures to discover God's original intent for how we are meant to spend our time. It's about the reality that what we do matters, just as much as who we are---and a reminder that we were never meant to pull the two apart.

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. With an autobiographical thread that turns a book into a story, pastor and speaker John Mark Comer shares about what is right in male/female relationships--what God intended in the Garden. And about what is wrong--the fallout in a post-Eden world. Loveology starts with marriage and works backward. Comer deals with sexuality, romance, singleness, and what it means to be male and female; ending with a raw, uncut, anything goes Q and A dealing with the most asked questions about sexuality and relationships. 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. And for people who want to ask the why questions and get intelligent, nuanced, grace-and-truth answers, rooted in the Scriptures.

For years, John Mark Comer thought he was the only man on the planet who struggled with anxiety and depression. He was dead wrong.Staggering numbers of modern Americans fight anxiety and depression on a daily basis. In 2010, there were 253 million prescriptions for antidepressants in the U.S. alone. That's in a nation of 311 million people. And the battle is nothing new. My Name is Hope is the story of one follower of Jesus who went through the horrors of anxiety and depression and came out the other side. It is his ruthlessly authentic and scripturally authoritative account of prophets and poets, mothers and fathers, and even a Messiah who all came up against anxiety and depression."With obvious relevance and prophetic resonance," My Name is Hope "speaks needed truth into the over-stressed, over-medicated reality of our lives and culture. It is a book that will awaken and guide many towards a return home to the hope that is ours in Jesus."
