Description

ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life—from the New York Times bestselling author of Practicing the Way

“Prophetic, practical, and profoundly life giving . . . provides a way forward that creates hope, hunger, and a vision of a beautiful life. I consider this required reading.”—Jon Tyson, lead pastor of the Church of the City New York and author of Beautiful Resistance


“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.

    Incredibly brave, insightful, and forward thinking while simultaneously evoking a deep seated peace that we are all craving – even pining for. I am so grateful for writers like this that help us clarify our visions for ourselves and the world around.

    I’m so sad to come to the end of this delightfully honest written Kingdom work of goodness for the soul. I highlighted 3/4 of this book or better! However, now that I’m finished, I can read it again! What a blessing! llg

    God’s timing is perfect and He knew this was what I needed just when I needed it. I had been trying to eliminate some areas of hurry in my life but couldn’t do it on my own. This book was just the roadmap for me and perhaps for you. Let go and let God have it.
  • Great book, there’s just this one thing…

    This is a really well written, very insightful book about how slowing down is actually the way of Jesus and leads to a vast improvement in our lives. I enjoyed it immensely. However, there are a few points in the book that felt were written with a political agenda. There are several references to social justice that are very far-left leaning and antithetical to Judeo-Christian values (on which the United Stated was founded). And the United States is actually called out as being the a major culprit of this so-called social injustice. 98 percent of this book is spot on and my outlook on modern life has definitely been called into question, which is the point. So if you ignore the 2% of this book that is borderline Anti-American cleverly weaved into biblical principles, you will get inspired to improve your life and have the life Jesus died for us to have. I would have given it 5 stars without the politics.
