THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER WITH ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD! - AN ECPA BESTSELLER - A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life--from the author of Practicing the Way

'Prophetic, practical, and profoundly life giving . . . provides a way forward that creates hope, hunger, and a vision of a beautiful life. I consider this required reading.'--Jon Tyson, lead pastor of the Church of the City New York and author of Beautiful Resistance

'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 trying to pinpoint 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.
