A Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
Written by
John Mark Comer
The book is, as the title suggests, how to ruthlessly eliminate hurry from our lives. The author draws us into what it looks like to imitate Jesus is how we do life, and compares that to the world we live in, which is fast paced, without peace and too busy. Comer gives some amazing examples from his own life on how to practice a slower paced life, why it is beneficial and how we can achieve it for ourselves. The book is absolutely brilliant and should be read once a year to set the pace for our lives. The book was also incredibly challenging but a book by which you can actually change your life, as you first learn from Jesus and then implement some of the things Comer has learnt over the years to eliminate hurry from his life.
What did you like about the book?
I loved the way it was laid out, the paragraphing, the bold text, the questions, it made for an inviting read because it wasn't just loads of theory to wade through but points you could grab and apply to your life quickly. I enjoyed that it was Christ focused and that there was a lot of references to other incredible authors writing on the same topic. Comer also used a lot of fact, statistics and data in his book, which helped to drive home how disconnected the world is, as they hurry through their lives, which gives a real strength as to why we need to slow down.
