The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

A fresh, challenging and compassionate response to busyness, based on the way of life Jesus offered his disciples

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 the pages of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, you'll find a compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favour of a slower, simpler way of life.
