Author Feature: John Mark Comer
J
ohn Mark Comer is pastor for teaching and vision at Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon. He holds a Master’s degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from Western Seminary and is the author of several books. With the publication of his new book, Live No Lies, we contacted John Mark and asked him to answer a few questions regarding how and why he came to write it.
So, John Mark, who precisely have you written this book for? Serious, thoughtful Christians who are living in a very secular, (mostly) liberal culture that is increasingly hostile to the Way of Jesus. I want to help them, and people like them, not just survive, but flourish in the soil of the secular west. Why write this book now? Because it’s my pastoral conviction that many people in our churches are living with a set of very secular assumptions (what I argue are lies) that are non-starters – they block Christians from the full experience Christ has for them. Do you mention any of your own experiences? What has inspired you to write this? For sure. I’ve been living in the least religious city in America for my entire adult life; it’s shaped me like a blacksmith’s fire-red hammer. It’s forged my faith into something resilient. I want to see that become normative in others. Do you think you’ve learnt anything yourself during the time of writing this book? Yes, that I need to grow in hope. We’re living in a story where we know the ending, and it’s good. We can live with buyont hope. This is an area I want and need to mature in, and writing this book spotlighted that aspect of my character in a very helpful way.

Prayer & Spirituality 7 Ways to Pray: Time-tested Practices for Encountering God
Amy Boucher Pye For Christians, prayer is the main way we communicate with God - but what can we do when we struggle with the question of how to pray or feel our prayer lives are lacking? 7 Ways to Pray explores how, by looking to ancient prayer practices of Christianity, we can find fresh ways to relate to God today. Discovering these tried and tested tools will not only strengthen our relationship with him but will bring us joy, contentment, growth and transformation.

Just Ask: The Joy of Confident, Bold, Patient, Relentless, Shameless, Dependent, Grateful, Powerful, Expectant Prayer
NEW
J.D. Greear Prayer can be a struggle. Sometimes we don’t think it will make a difference, or we rely on ourselves, or we’re just too busy. And even if we do pray regularly, it can feel more like a duty than a delight. J.D. Greear shows us how prayer was a non-negotiable daily staple in Jesus’ life, more essential to him than eating or sleeping, and therefore why we need to pray as well. He shows us how we can enjoy the same source of power as our Lord and the early church when we learn to ‘just ask’ and depend on our heavenly Father as they did. Giving specific practical tips for getting on with prayer in everyday life, this book leaves readers wanting to pray, rather than just feeling that they ought to. Pb | 160 pgs | GOOD BOOK COMPANY

Biographies Guns to God: My Journey from Drug Dealing to Deliverance

Claud Jackson Claud was just six years old when he first held a gun in his hands. Now, over twenty years later, he is returning to communities just like the one he grew up in, this time holding a Bible. Guns to God is the incredible autobiography of Claud Jackson, a young boy who became a drug dealer and professional criminal before giving his life to God through the Alpha Course and later being called to become a Christian minister. Though exceptional in parts, Claud’s journey is remarkably relatable: it is one of being shaped by circumstance and formed through faith, of losing yourself only to be found. Guns to God is an inspiring and thought-provoking Christian autobiography for anyone wanting a stronger understanding of and insight into the struggle against drugs and drug dealing in urban communities in the UK, and the role that the Christian faith has to play.

NEW
Guli Francis-Dehqani Guli Francis-Dehqani was born in Isfahan, Iran, to a family who were part of the tiny Anglican Church established by 19th century missionaries. As the Islamic Revolution of 1979 swept across the country, church properties were raided, confiscated or closed down. Guli’s father was briefly imprisoned before surviving an attack on his life, which injured his wife. Soon after, Guli’s 24 year-old brother was murdered. No one was ever brought to justice and the family were advised to leave Iran. Guli was 14. They eventually settled in England with refugee status. Drawing on the riches of Persian culture and her own dramatic experience of loss of a homeland, Guli offers memorable and perceptive reflections on Jesus’ seven final sayings from the cross, opening up for Western readers fresh and arresting insights from a Middle Eastern perspective.

Martin Luther: Catholic Dissident
Peter Stanford The 31st of October 2017 marked the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther pinning his 95 ‘Theses’ - or reform proposals - to the door of his local university church in Wittenberg. Most scholars now agree that the details of this eye-catching gesture are more legend than hammer and nails, but what is certainly true is that on this day the Augustinian Friar and theologian issued an outspokenly blunt challenge to his own Catholic Church to reform itself from within, which ultimately precipitated a huge religious and political upheaval right across Europe and divided mainstream Christianity ever after. Journalist Peter Stanford looks at Martin Luther from within his Catholic context, examining his actual aims for Catholicism as well as his enduring legacy - and where he might fit within the church today.

In this new book, Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury and a noted scholar of Eastern Christianity, introduces us to some aspects and personalities of the Orthodox Christian world, from the desert contemplatives of the fourth century to philosophers, novelists and activists of the modern era, that suggest where we might look for fresh light and warmth. He shows how this rich and diverse world opens up new ways of thinking about spirit and body, prayer and action, worship and social transformation, which go beyond the polarisations we take for granted.

What God Has to Say about Our Bodies: How the Gospel is Good News for Our Physical Selves
There’s a danger in focusing too much on the body. There’s also a danger in not valuing it enough. In fact, the Bible has lots to say about the body. With the coming of Jesus, ‘The Word became flesh and dwelt among us’ - flesh that was pierced and crushed for the sins of the world. In What God Has to Say about Our Bodies, Sam Allberry explains that all of us are fearfully and wonderfully made, and should regard our physicality as a gift. He offers biblical guidance for living, including understanding gender, sexuality, and identity; dealing with ageing, illness, and death; and considering the physical future hope that we have in Christ. In this powerfully written book, you’ll gain a new understanding of the immeasurable value of our bodies and God’s ultimate plan to redeem them. Pb | 208 pgs | CROSSWAY

Yet, skilfully distilling half a century of teaching and preaching, Rohr leaves us with principles for resisting evil with contemplation and love. Pb | 144 pgs | SPCK

How Did I Get Here?: Finding Your Way Back to God When Everything is Pulling You Away
Christine Caine Do you feel lost? Disconnected? Like you're just going through the motions? A respected Bible teacher, author and activist, Christine Caine knew that Jesus was her only anchor - and yet, after an especially difficult season, she found herself drifting, unsure if she wanted to keep going the way she always had and asking, ‘How did I get here?’, as she struggled to return to the steadiness of God’s purpose for her. Where she once wanted to take ground, she now just wanted to take cover. It was a bewildering and disorienting place to be - one you may also have found yourself in before. Writing for all who feel empty of the spiritual passion they once knew, Christine vulnerably shares her journey of turning her eyes back to Jesus in her thoughts, prayers, actions, and the hard questions she asked along the way.

Truth on Fire: Gazing at God Until Your Heart Sings
NEW
Adam Ramsey What would it look like to genuinely love God with our head AND our heart? To have a faith marked by right thinking AND right feeling? To know God deeply AND worship him passionately? Too often, Christians act as though these things are at odds with one another. But what if God intends for us to possess a Christianity that is radically committed to biblical truth, in a way that did not diminish the life of the heart, but actually intensified it? Adam Ramsey invites us to engage both our minds and our emotions in our walk with God as we gaze at him until our hearts sing. If you yearn for God but desire a clearer biblical picture of this God whom you love, or if you have been walking with God for a while now, but your experience of him has become settled or dry, then this book is for you.

It is all too easy for Satan to weasel his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and your King. But you can fight back. Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table outlines the ways to overcome those lies so you can find peace and security in any challenging circumstance or situation. Louie Giglio examines Psalm 23 in fresh ways, highlighting verse 5: 'You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.'

Mere Evangelism: 10 Insights from C.S. Lewis to Help You Share Your Faith
Randy Newman Evangelism is an extraordinary task; it’s what God uses to bring people from death to life. But it has always been difficult. C.S. Lewis was used by God in the conversions of countless people, from friends and acquaintances in his own lifetime to modern-day readers of books such as The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity. As Tim Keller comments, ‘C.S. Lewis was incredibly skilled at getting Christianity across in a way that’s powerful to thoughtful people.’ So, if we want help with evangelism, there is much we can learn from the clarity and imagination of this hugely influential Christian writer. You may feel inadequate to the task. But evangelist Randy Newman skillfully helps us to apply the methods Lewis used (storytelling, humour, imagery and more) in our own conversations.

A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society
Eugene H. Peterson Since Eugene Peterson wrote this spiritual formation classic more than forty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been inspired by its call to deeper discipleship. Our society is still obsessed with quick fixes. But Peterson's time-tested prescription for discipleship remains the same - a long obedience in the same direction. Following Jesus requires a deepening life of prayer, and throughout history Christians have learned to pray from the Psalms. Peterson finds particular encouragement for today's pilgrims in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120134). With prophetic and pastoral wisdom, he shows how the psalms teach us to grow in worship, service, joy, work, humility, community and blessing. Pb | 224 pgs | IVP

Cosmic Chemistry: Do God and Science Mix?
NEW PRE-ORDER: Publishes 17th September
Is the rigorous pursuit of scientific knowledge really compatible with a sincere faith in God? Building on the arguments put forward in God’s Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?, Prof John Lennox examines afresh the plausibility of a Christian theistic worldview in the light of some of the latest developments in scientific understanding. Prof Lennox focuses on the areas of evolutionary theory, the origins of life and the universe, and the concepts of mind and consciousness to provide a detailed and compelling introduction to the science and religion debate. He also offers his own reasoning as to why he continues to be convinced by a Christian approach to explaining these phenomena. Robust in its reasoning, but respectful in tone, this book is vital reading for anyone exploring the relationship between science and God. Pb | 400 pgs | LION
