Publisher's summary

A fresh, challenging and compassionate response to busyness, based on the way of life Jesus offered his disciples.

Who are you becoming? That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. By outward metrics, everything 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 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 this audiobook, you'll find a compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favour of a slower, simpler way of life.

Wonderful.

Wonderful, timely. Thoughtful and conversational yet full of deep wisdom and practical application. JMC overflows with humility and love - and occasional humour. Grateful for his life and the intentional way he carries his role as pastor and leader and apprentice under Jesus. Such a breath of fresh air in this hurried world. So grateful for this book. It has truly changed my life and brought me closer to the unhurried, intentional and patient ever-present Jesus.

A life-changing old-new rule for life

John Mark Comer excellently performs the reading of his own writing - with all perfunctory (you'll know it when you hear it) humor. Jesus's yoke for life has never been so holistically explained to me, and has never been more needed. Life-changing words - thank you, John Mark.

Cannot recommend enough!

This book helped me pull up the handbrake on my life, I am excited to stop, go slower, lean into the present, lean into His presence. I am so thankful for the context, conviction and hope to a slower life, the life of Jesus shared through this book!

The structure of the book.

Structured really well and relevant to out daily lives, citations from the Bible are also very helpful to scrutinise the Word further.
