The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: How to Stay Emotionally Healthy and Spiritually Alive in the Chaos of the Modern World

John Mark Comer

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

"Who am I becoming?" That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he 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 was--and 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 the pages of this book, you'll find a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

    it was a nice easy read (but i also had to read it haha)
    i enjoyed that it’s written like i’m talking to a human being, which isn’t always the case with Christian books. I found many things to reflect on & try out, discipline-wise.
    overall a solid read, would recommend if you’re interested in spiritual disciplines and “eliminating hurry” from your life.
