COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 5, 2026)—New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer will embark on a 15-city North American tour in support of his highly anticipated book Into the quiet: Following Jesus in a world of noise (WaterBrook; on sale October 6, 2026). Into the Quiet Experience tour begins October 5 in the Bay Area.
Each multi-sensory, immersive evening will blend teaching, music, guided contemplation and conversation between Comer and special guests including Tish Harrison Warren, Richard Foster, Dan Allender, Lecrae, John Ortberg and others. Attendees will receive a signed copy of Into the Quiet and participate in an experience designed to help them step out of distraction and rediscover silence, solitude and stillness.
Tour cities include San Francisco, CA; Portland, OR (sold out); Seattle, WA (sold out); Vancouver, CAN; Denver, CO; Dallas, TX (sold out); Austin, TX; Phoenix, AZ; Nashville, TN; Atlanta, GA; Charlotte, NC; Washington, DC (sold out); Orange County, CA; San Diego, CA; and Los Angeles, CA.
What Comer’s The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry was to the speed of the modern world, this forthcoming book is to the volume of it. Into the quiet offers a countercultural invitation to step away from the noise and reencounter the still, silent presence of God. Drawing from ancient spiritual practices and contemporary insights on attention, neuroscience and mental health, Comer posits that the greatest barrier to spiritual life today is not doubt but distraction. His call to step out of the chronic noise and constant motion into communion with the God of peace will be a welcomed relief and encouragement to the depleted souls of Christian believers and spiritual seekers alike.
An internationally recognized spiritual formation thought leader and the founder of Practicing the Way, Comer is the author of beloved and bestselling books Practicing the Way and The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. Practicing the Way resources are used by more than 23,000 churches in 157 different countries and have been translated into over twenty languages.
