This book was extremely helpful and had so much good content. Comer has a very conversational tone or if you watch or listen to any of his material, you will find his writing tone to be very similar. The ideas given regarding the world, the flesh, and the devil are on point. He is also very practical and gives guidance for all. It is also very well researched and you get a whole list of next reads from all of the footnotes. I recommend for anyone looking to take steps forward in understanding and growth.

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 given my full review on video, which you can find here: https://youtu.be/okURnFP3WBg

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

This book dives into the lies we believe, coming from our biggest ennemies: the devil, the flesh and the world. It explains what they are and how they work together against God's work in our lives. It's very accessible, well written (it feels like you're having a conversation with the author), but packed with a lot of food for thought!

Incredible and timely book for our culture. This book equips its reader to combat lies with truth in a powerful way.

Live No Lies: Recognize and Resist the Three Enemies That Sabotage Your Peace by John Mark Comer

I absolutely loved this book. This will definitely be a book I reread many times.
The main point of this book is living as exiles in modern day "Babylon," aka, the world, our cultures, and our flesh.

John Mark explains that lies we believe and their pull come from 3 places; the world, the flesh, and the devil.

He starts off with the devil, where lies and evil all came from. He explains the method the "Father of Lies" uses to trap us and how he has used this same method on every human, including Jesus, since the Beginning. He explains why Jesus came as a teacher. (Photo 3)

Next he moves to our flesh: "our base, primal, animalistic drives for self-gratification." He gives the key to overcoming our flesh and gives a direct correlation between fasting from food and resisting temptation.

The third and final enemy is the world, not the people of the world, but "a system of ideas, values, morals, practices, and social norms that are integrated into the mainstream and institutionalized in a culture corrupted by the twin sins of rebellion against God and the redefinition of good and evil." In this section, we see the way culture "colonizes" us and the church into thinking what is good is bad and what is bad is good.

This book covers a lot of heavy topics, but it's done in a gentle way. It's deep and well researched, with many outside resources referenced (Christain and secular) and Scripture quoted. (One chapter has 53 resources in the notes section.)

Every human needs to read this book because every human believes lies and has to fight the world, flesh and the devil every moment of every day. This book gives some practical help and suggestions to guide you from living and believing lies to being free in Christ. He gives us guidance in how to change our thoughts from lies to truth.

There are many things in this book that I learned about that was never taught in church or Bible school, like why fasting from food is so important and why Jesus, other than being God and sinless, was able to resist the temptation of the devil after he fasted for 40 days.

You can pre-order Live No Lies from anywhere you buy books. It releases on September 28, 2021.

If you truly want to live in freedom then this book serves as a roadmap to get you there. We live in a world and have an adversary that wants to shackle our souls. And, if we are honest with ourselves, they have been effective to an uncomfortable degree. Begin your journey to freedom now. It won't be an easy journey and it will take a long time but Live No Lies will prepare you for your first steps and guide you along the way. John Mark Comer's best book yet IMHO.

John Mark Comer’s latest book is a return to the coffee table where Comer simply speaks to you. For better or for worse, his writing comes off as an honest and raw conversation. (A style that I’ve grown to love.)

This book focuses on the three enemies that ever believed must battle against. The devil, the flesh, and the world. I particularly appreciate Comer’s unpacking of Paul’s “the flesh” and what it means to fight against it.

Overall, this book was insightful. For anyone who’s followed along with Comer’s podcast, This Cultural Moment, you’ll recognize several themes that appear in the book.

This book is a total reframing of an old thought in faith. This thought has been applicable through the millennium and in this new context Gods mastery over creation is shown yet again in this book.
