John Mark Comer’s latest book is an excellent read about the world, the flesh, and the devil. There’s great insights presented in an engaging writing style. It is similar thematically to other Comer books.

Definitely recommend it for fans of John Mark Comer, or anyone interested in faith and spirituality.

John Mark Comer is one of my favorite authors, speakers, and leaders so I was beyond excited for this copy of his new book. This one, while seemingly a departure from his previous book, did not disappoint. Comer walks the reader through the three enemies that sabotage our peace, the world, the flesh, and the devil. His attention to walking through these with a different lens on the concept of spiritual warfare helps combat some of the complacency that it is tempting to bring to dealing with issues of the spiritual realm.

I loved this book. JMC has an amazing way of communicating more in-depth theology and faith ideas in a way that is easy to understand and practical.

While the content in the book wasn't as groundbreaking as some of his other books, in my opinion, it was an excellent refresher of the real enemies we face every single day.

A must read for every apprentice of Jesus!

"When we believe truth—that is, ideas that correspond to reality—we show up to reality in such a way that we flourish and thrive. We show up to our bodies, to our sexuality, to our interpersonal relationships, and, above all, to God himself in a way that is congruent with the Creator’s wisdom and good intentions for his creation."

I started this book skeptically, holding it at arms length. But John Mark Comer writes in the most winsome way you can, when "the devil, the flesh, and the world," are the topics of discussion.

I never thought a book like this would captivate me so entirely, but Comer has been gifted with a remarkable way of holding compassion and truth in the same hand.

This is a book to keep on the same shelf as Nancy Percey. A book that helps you examine your worldview and how those thoughts shape your life. Not only that, but he provides tools to navigate and help break unhelpful patterns in our thought process.

I'm repeatedly surprised by how thoughtfully, thoughtprovokingly, and precisely Comer writes. His words somehow speak to my heart, as they hopefully will, yours.

Loved this book. I really enjoyed John Mark Comer's take on the "3 ancient enemies of the soul" and felt his spiritual practices were very helpful.

I’ve read a lot of Christian living books, but I don’t think I’ve ever read one as life changing as this one. I’ve been deconstructing my faith for awhile and recently turned the corner into rebuilding a faith that is genuine. This book has been a handbook for me as I walk that journey. The theology in these pages is solid and counter cultural. It’s made me confident in my beliefs. John Mark is arguably my favorite contemporary pastor because he talks about Christianity in a way that feels real. He talks about following Jesus in solid terms and doesn’t shy away from calling sin, sin. I love the way that he talks about “the way of Jesus” and what it means to be a true disciple. The format of this book helps clearly convey his message, the sections are clearly labeled and memorable. There are practical tools contained within these pages and thought provoking questions. I just finished it, but I plan to reread it immediately. Absolutely worth every cent, plus some. If you’re looking to be challenged and encouraged, this book is for you.

This is Comer’s best book by far! So well researched and yet written from the heart of a pastor. It’s clear that this book is the overflow of a life lived for Christ. Definitely a must-read for any believer. Will defiantly be re-reading!

John Mark Comer, bestselling author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, writes about the three enemies of the soul: the devil, the flesh, and the world. Diving into each one, he shares that we aren't just telling lies... we're living them.

This spiritual formation book is very different in topic and tone from The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. Readers who expect more of the same will be disappointed or frustrated, likely saying this book is heavier or darker. That it is. It's more of a call to wake-up call to examine yourself/your heart than a book with practical take-aways for your schedule/life.

I really enjoyed John Mark Comer’s newest book, Live No Lies! He writes with wisdom and insight in a relatable, down-to-earth way. The way he broke down and expounded on the common Christian phrase “the world, the flesh, and the devil” opened my eyes to the insidious spiritual warfare we face daily. He addressed issues and topics we face in our culture and political landscape without leaning more towards one political party; I thought he did a great job sticking to Biblical truth.

One of my favorite parts was the summary at the end of each section with definitions, key Scriptures, key points, and a summary of the book as a whole so far. It helps collect your thoughts and have a quick reference point to go back to. The message of this book is one I believe the church desperately needs to hear today. It’s cultural commentary, impactful theology, and practical advice. I highly recommend this book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This may be one of the most important books you could read this year! In a world that villainizes people, Comer identifies the devil, the flesh, and the world as the real enemies that sabotage peace. The book is tirelessly researched, yet Comer never loses his own voice, which rings like a chat with a wise old friend. In Live No Lies, Comer walks you through his points, clear, and practical, but never loses a sense of hope. Definitely worth your time and attention!

In his book, Live No Lies, John Mark Comer has offered readers a glimpse behind the curtain to see some of the major driving influences on the lives we live. But, he doesn’t stop there. Instead of simply identifying the problem or the challenges we face, he offers time-tested and battle-proven steps to overcome them. He points out that when we accept lies we subscribe to an “unreality” that appeals to disordered desires which leads to a broken and fallen life. And then he offers practices that we can adopt and implement to find ourselves more grounded in reality, with healthy and ordered desires, to bring greater wholeness to our lives and the world we live in.

I definitely recommend this book. It is an easy and enjoyable read that will provoke you to look deeper into the way you see and engage in the world.

I've had this book on pre-order since the beginning but was recently extended an invite to receive a digital copy in exchange for a fair and honest review by NetGalley.

John Mark Comer does what few Christian leaders have been able to do during this tumultuous year and a half of Covid-19 and U.S. politics* - he's managed to point us back to The Way of Jesus when so many have lost the way - outside the church but, alarmingly, within. He reminds us to look to our Savior and his example when the voices get loud and angsty. JMC reminds us that we are in a battle against the principalities of this world and we must resist the temptation of our flesh but the patterns this world offers up as benign habits and indulgences.
I wish I could put a copy in every Christ follower's hand as it is sobering yet needed encouragement and correction for this age.

*My one caveat is that he seems to make a few comments that, I would argue, is unfair to "liberals" and I was a bit disappointed in this because I have always respected JMC for being apolitical/politically homeless at least to the public.

John Mark does an amazing job of articulating what it looks like to be formed in an increasingly post-Christian society. Comer ties ancient Biblical tradition with the power of the Spirit to equip present day followers of Jesus with practical tools to combat the things unseen. For any serious Christian in today's world, this is a MUST read!

I have read all of John Mark's books and have been deeply shaped by all of them. This book is something different. A great temptation of today is that we have to be loud and attacking to get our point across. But John Mark shows us otherwise with a tone that is full of love and humility. Even if you disagree with some of the points in this book, you are compelled to continue to read and understand deeper. This will book will continue to resonate and challenge me to walk forward in my walk with Jesus in asking the question, "what lies am I believing about myself"?

Thank you for sharing your gift with the world, John Mark.

This book is John Mark Comer's synthesis of the three enemies of the soul: the world, the flesh and the devil, written for the modern age. He writes with truth and grace and calls followers of Jesus to recognize these enemies and fight against them. He combines his pastoral gifting with his appreciation for sociology and psychology and reminds his readers that though we have ultimately won, we wage war here on earth. I recommend this book to anyone who is earnestly following Jesus and wants to better understand how we've arrived at this state of post-truth- and what to do about it.

John Mark Comer's writing style will make you laugh, but don't be fooled - this is not a light-hearted read. Live No Lies takes a deep dive into what is harming our souls. He names the Devil, our Flesh, and the World as our enemies & provides deep, yet simple ways for us to combat those evils daily.

He has a special gift to reveal Scripture & ancient wisdom to in a fresh way to our present day. Highly recommend, but don't think you're getting a Ruthless Elimination 2.0.

John Mark has been my favorite author ever since I read his book, Loveology when it came out. He is the best teacher I have come across. I would argue if one is new to Jesus, or wants reconstruct their faith in a safe space, John Mark's books are all you need. Other books are valuable, of course, but if you don't want to be bogged down, go with JMC first and then move out. John Mark simplifies everything it means to follow Jesus. That being said, Live No Lies is my #1 recommendation, right next to his last book. He gives valuable insight into our current cultural moment and practical steps forward. He speaks intimately to what it means to follow Jesus in this exact moment. There's no other book quite like it. It has quickly become a part of my personal canon.

We’ve been lied to. For years now, deceitful ideas have played into our disordered desires, which have normalized values once thought unimaginable. As a result, the world has drastically changed, and we wonder how it happened so quickly. John Mark Comer addresses this phenomenon head-on in his latest book, Live No Lies. First, he lays out conceptual stepping stones that help the reader make sense of this complex shift step by step. Then, with clarity & grace, he offers a Northstar to help us navigate the world we live in today. Live No Lies hits the market tomorrow, September 28. It will be easy to find in bookstores and online where ever you like to purchase your books.

In short, my wife, son, friends, extended family, church community, and neighbors will all be happy I read this book. John Mark’s take on the three enemies of the soul is deeply rooted in scripture and trusted tradition while simultaneously refreshingly new to the Christian space. It’s needed, he’s needed, this book is needed. It’s already begun my formation into someone who looks a little more like Jesus and less like anyone to the contrary. A must read.

I'd love to say this review is unbiased, but I'm a big fan of Comer's work and like his other titles, this one won't disappoint. Live No Lies is a refreshing and convicting act of resistance against modern culture. As Christianity continues to grow/feel counterculture in a society focused on pleasure dictated by self love, it's important to root oneself in practices that are other worldly - aka heavenly. Comer once again lays out his wisdom in a conversational way that is easy to dig into but leaves you thinking and hopefully leads you to look inside yourself honestly and apply spiritual disciplines to your own life. Live No Lies is full of impeccable storytelling, real life examples, and a guidebook to resisting the lies we tell ourselves. I highly encourage any devout Christian (or skeptic wanting to know more) pick this one up and dig into it. Be ready for action.
