The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Faith and Wellbeing | John Mark Comer | Hodder & Stroughton

I read this book soon after its release in 2022 and I highly recommend it to anyone who knows that the pace of their life is unsustainable. A very accessible read with content that is thought-provoking, deeply challenging and extremely practical. Comer is passionate about spiritual formation, and pulls no punches when he writes, ‘Hurry is a form of violence against the soul. Hurry kills relationships. Love takes time; hurry doesn’t have it.’ This book contributed significantly to my own slowing down journey, helping create margin and shape the way I live today. In true Comer fashion, this book is a brilliant mix of compelling personal stories, vulnerability, theology, history and social commentary. A life-changing read. (Reviewed by Jules Badger)
