Summer Read w/ Fr Joseph



John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way: Be with Jesus, Become like him, Do as he did

Join Fr Joseph and friends for a 5-week book club engaging John Mark Comer’s, Practicing the Way: Be with Jesus, Become like him, Do as he did (WaterBrook, 2024).

From our first preaching and practice series on Sabbath (Jan 2023) to prayer (Feb 2023), silence and solitude (Jan 2024), and fasting (Mar 2024), we have been partnering with Practing the Way to renew our commitment to the way of Jesus.


This book, by pastor John Mark Comer, will help us take a step back and put such practices into context––as we strive, in God’s grace, to become whole-life disciples.

  • What does it mean to be with, become like, and live like Jesus? 

  • How do practices help form us into disciples?

  • And what practices are essential for our lifelong journey into Christlikeness?

Buy the book, read it with a friend or your small group, and join Fr Joseph for a Tuesday night Zoom (6.30-7.30pm MT) discussion group––reading the following passages for each week and coming ready to discuss (or joining the conversation even if you didn’t ‘do the homework’!).

The book is available via Tattered Cover (hardcover + digital audio book), Barnes & Noble (hardcover, NOOK eBook + audiobook), Amazon (harcover, Kindle eBook, and audiobook), or a local bookstore near you.

Questions? Contact Fr Joseph.
