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.
A perfect gift for Mother's Day that inspires readers to soak in the goodness of each day, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry is a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.
Outwardly, Comer appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren't pretty. The advice his mentor gave him wasn't what he expected: "Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life." But it was the answer Comer needed. Here he shows you how to stay emotionally healthy and spiritually alive, by discovering a slower, simpler way of life. -- adapted from Amazon.com info
