What if there is a better way to live?
 
Life in the modern world is busy, noisy, and crammed with over-activity. Many of us are exhausted from being pulled in a thousand directions, numbed by our devices, and disillusioned by our lack of spiritual change. We struggle to find time for any spiritual life at all. 
 
As we eliminate hurry, Comer calls us to live with a greater intentionality in our apprenticeship to Jesus.
 
To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life, a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transform the deepest parts of us to become like him. 
 
This introduction to spiritual formation is full of Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life.
 
These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus. We can be with him. Become like him. And do as he did.
