The Book

A guide for following Jesus in the modern era

The first followers of Jesus developed a Rule of Life, or habits and practices based on the life of Jesus himself. As they learned to live like their teacher, they became people who made space for God to do his most transformative work in their lives.


Practicing the Way is a vision for the future, shaped by the wisdom of the past. It’s an introduction to spiritual formation accessible to both beginners and lifelong followers of Jesus and a companion to the Practicing the Way Course. It offers theological substance, astute cultural insight, and practical wisdom for creating a Rule of Life in the modern age.
