NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The bestselling author of The Ruthless
Elimination of Hurry equips readers to recognize and resist the lies
that seek to rob them of peace and freedom. “Live No Lies is
brilliant, deep, scriptural, and will equip you to face the enemy and
fight.”—Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Get Out
of Your Head We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic
terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking
over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests:
we are at war with lies. The problem isn’t so much that we tell
lies but that we live them. We let them into our bodies, and they
sabotage our peace. All around us in the culture and deep within our
own body memories are lies: deceptive ideas that wreak havoc on our
emotional health and spiritual well-being, and deceptive ideas about
who God is, who we are, and what the good life truly is. The choice
is not whether to fight or not fight, but whether we win or surrender.
Ancient apprentices of Jesus developed a paradigm for this war; they
spoke of the three enemies of the soul: the devil, the flesh, and the
world. Live No Lies taps into this ancient wisdom from saints of the
Way and translates the three enemies for the modern era, with all its
secularism and sophistication. As a generation, we chuckle at the
devil as a premodern myth, we are confused by Scripture’s teaching
on the flesh in an age where sensual indulgence is a virtue not a
vice, and we have little to no category for the New Testament concept
of the world. In this provocative and practical book, bestselling
author John Mark Comer combines cultural analysis with spiritual
formation. He identifies the role lies play in our spiritual
deformation and lays out a strategic plan to overcome them. Do you
feel the tug-of-war in your own heart, the inner conflict between
truth and lies? The spirit and the flesh? The Way of Jesus and the
world? It’s time to start winning. It’s time to live no lies...
