JUNE 19, 2026 — SPCK Group has acquired Into The Quiet: Following Jesus in a World of Noise — the latest book by New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer.
Lauren Windle, publishing director at SPCK Group, acquired UK and Commonwealth rights (excluding Canada) for Into The Quiet from Penguin Random House. The book is set to publish in the UK on the 6th October 2026.
John Mark Comer’s breakout international bestseller, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry — published in 2019 by WaterBrook, an imprint of Penguin Random House — has been translated into 20 languages and recently surpassed one million copies sold across all formats.
Comer is also the author of the bestselling Live No Lies (2021) and Practicing The Way (2024), both of which are published under SPCK’s Form imprint in the UK. Practicing The Way — SPCK’s top-selling title in 2025 — has so far sold 45,157 copies across all formats in the UK and Commonwealth (excluding Canada), since publication.
Into the Quiet is a profound exploration of the ache for quiet in a world of chronic noise, overstimulation, and distraction. Drawing on the wisdom of the contemplative tradition and spiritual practices that date back to the earliest centuries of the church, Comer invites readers to rediscover an ancient path of peace, quiet and serenity, and discover the transformative effects of solitude, silence and stillness before God.
John Mark Comer says: “Modern living is inundated with noise, busyness and a digital cycle fuelled by outrage and fear. We are overstimulated, exhausted, and bone-dry in our souls. Into The Quiet emphasises that — for the anxious, overstimulated soul — Jesus offers a better way. God is waiting for you. Outside the noise of the modern world and the busyness of your daily life. Waiting to love you, speak to you, heal you, free you. This book is an invitation to step out of the chronic noise and constant motion of the modern world into the still, silent presence of the God of peace”.
Lauren Windle says: “John Mark Comer continues to be one of the leading voices in spiritual formation, guiding people towards a more fruitful faith life by following the practices of Jesus. After the phenomenal success of Practicing the Way in 2024 and Live No Lies in 2021, we’re delighted to be bringing Into the Quiet to the UK and Commonwealth. In this age of intense stimulation and exposure to the media, John Mark’s encouragement to embrace the transformative effects of solitude, silence, and stillness couldn’t be more welcome or timely.”
