A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and for a slower, simpler way of life—from the author of Practicing the Way. '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 pinpointing 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.
