Publisher's Summary

Habits form us more than we form them. The modern world is a machine of 1,000 invisible habits, forming us into anxious, busy, and depressed people. We yearn for the freedom and peace of the gospel but remain addicted to our technology, shackled by our screens, and exhausted by our routines. But because our habits are the water we swim in, they are almost invisible to us. What can we do about it?

The answer to our contemporary chaos is to practice a rule of life that aligns our habits to our beliefs. The Common Rule offers four daily and four weekly habits, designed to help us create new routines and transform frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbor. Justin Earley provides concrete, doable practices, such as a daily hour of phoneless presence or a weekly conversation with a friend. These habits are “common” not only because they are ordinary, but also because they can be practiced in community. They have been lived out by people across all walks of life - businesspeople, professionals, parents, students, retirees - who have discovered new hope and purpose.

As you embark on these life-giving practices, you will find the freedom and rest for your soul that comes from aligning belief in Jesus with the practices of Jesus.

Easy to listen to; Practical and applicable; everyone should have a copy!

Loved the practicality of it and how it showed how the gospel applied to our everyday living out of these practices as well as the additional resources available for further reading. It was also great hearing his personal stories about how these applied to his life.

Even if you’ve heard of these practices before, I still recommend listening to it - there’s fresh insight and perspective given.

Grateful for Justin’s voice in this age of distraction.

Exactly what I needed

Had been working on creating healthy habits already, and discovering this book was exactly what I needed! combining mental, physical, and spiritual health into your life one little liturgy at a time. Thank you Justin for you advice, your godly example, and your openness. God bless.
