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.

The perspective shift you need
From the easy going, non-judgmental person you need to hear it from.
Much needed message for every generation!
I needed this audio book! Ironically I hurried through it and listened in one work day😅 definitely going to be listening to this again with a notebook and pen without distractions, taking it one chapter at a time, then at least three other times for good measure! 🫡
Unrealistic and left leaning
There a sprinkle of gospel in this book, but mostly unrealistic ideas not plausible for the average American. You won’t resonate with most of the authors ideas if you’re not liberal.
- only have two outfits per season and make sure they are sourced ethically
- only check your email once a month
- get rid of your smart phone and all electronics
- walk or ride your bike, but don’t drive
- take a month long vacation and unplug from everything
I think this is a solid idea - to slow down in life, but the “check list” to slow down is unattainable for most people - especially if you have small children.
