John Mark Comer Knihy

Aký človek sa to zo mňa stáva? Táto otázka znepokojovala pastora a spisovateľa Johna Marka Comera. Navonok síce pôsobil ako úspešný človek, no v jeho vnútri nebolo všetko v poriadku. A tak sa s prosbou o radu obrátil na dôveryhodného mentora, od ktorého si vypočul tieto slová: „Povedz neúprosné nie zhonu. Najväčším nepriateľom duchovného života je uponáhľanosť.“ Takú odpoveď síce nečakal, ale dodnes sa presviedča o tom, že práve to potreboval. Namiesto toho, aby sme sa pokúsili presne pomenovať príčinu toxicity moderného sveta, mnohokrát iba riešime symptómy. Čoraz častejšie zaznievajú hlasy, ktoré za koreň veľkej časti zla považujú práve zhon a zaneprázdnenosť. Na stránkach tejto knihy nájdete pôsobivý návod, ako si v chaose moderného sveta udržať emočné zdravie a duchovný život. Presvedčivé dôkazy proti uponáhľanosti a v prospech jednoduchšieho, pomalšieho života.

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.

You've heard people say "Who you are matters more than what you do." Does the Bible really teach that? In Garden City , popular pastor and speaker John Mark Comer gives a fresh take on our calling and our purpose, with a surprisingly counter-culture take.

He unpacks God's creation and his original intent for how we are meant to spend our time. Here, you'll find answers to questions like "Does God care where I work?" "What about what I do with my free time or how much rest I get?" "Does he have a clear direction for me?" Practical and theologically rich, Garden City speaks to twenty and thirty-somethings who are figuring out next steps and direction in their lives. Garden City is the Purpose Driven Life for the next generation--the book that helps us answer why we are here and what should we do about it.

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

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.

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.
