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.  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...

In his thought-provoking book, "Live No Lies: Recognize and Resist the Three Enemies That Sabotage Your Peace," John Mark Comer delves into the concept of living a life free from the lies that can hold us back and prevent us from experiencing true peace. He identifies three primary enemies that often sabotage our peace: the enemy within, the enemy of the world, and the enemy of the devil.

The enemy within refers to our own inner struggles, the doubts and insecurities that can lead us to question our worth and purpose. Comer emphasizes the importance of recognizing and confronting these internal enemies, as they can manifest in various forms such as fear, shame, and pride.

The enemy of the world represents the external forces that can challenge our faith and values. Comer highlights the influence of culture, media, and societal norms, which can often promote values that are misaligned with our true selves. He encourages readers to discern and resist these worldly influences that can lead us astray.

The enemy of the devil, often portrayed as a spiritual adversary, is another force that Comer addresses in the book. He explores the concept of spiritual warfare and the role it plays in our lives. Comer emphasizes the need to be aware of the devil's schemes and to rely on God's power to resist his temptations and attacks.

Throughout the book, Comer provides practical guidance and spiritual insights to help readers identify and overcome these three enemies. He draws from biblical teachings and personal anecdotes to illustrate the challenges and victories that can come from embracing truth and living a life free from lies. "Live No Lies" is a compelling read that encourages readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, spiritual growth, and lasting peace.
