The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

There is a restlessness in our deepest being that can only be filled by God, yet we find ourselves trying to fill that restlessness with busyness and consumerism. Jesus, by His example in the Gospels, and God the Father, by His example and command, call us to take the quieter, slower path. We are called to satisfy our restlessness with the peace and presence of God. In this book, John Mark Comer provides suggestions and encouragement to ruthlessly eliminate hurry in our lives and follow St. Paul's advice: "We urge you, brothers and sisters [...] to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life (1 Thessalonians 4:10-11)."
