John Mark Comer makes the claim that the four Gospels demonstrate that "Jesus’ life template was based on a rhythm of retreat and return, like breathing in and then out." Bob DeWaay rejects this claim and shows that Jesus is not a role model for mystics; He is the sinless Savior. He then rejects Comer's claim that solitude is vital to the Christian life.
