The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
Who are you becoming? That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. By outward metrics, everything appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren't pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: 'Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.' It wasn't the response he expected, but it continues to be the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness as a root of much evil. Within this audiobook, you'll find a compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life.
I found this to be an incredibly helpful book. Reshaping our lives around the truth of the incredible hope we have so as not to get lost in the loud messages of our culture. So helpful with practical applications based on biblical truths.
An easy, conversational, read with an enjoyable mix of humour, depth, and vulnerability from JMC. The concepts in this book are not new, but the way JMC communicates them is accessible and deeply invitational. I highly recommend this book to anyone on a spiritual journey towards Jesus!
