Ruthless elimination of hurry workbook

Like moths to a flame we fly to a fire that will consume us We each carry a profound sense of lack and loss and in not feeling like we are enough or that we have enough we rush and reach to fill the void But all the shiny screens and hustling habits leave us with little room to inhabit the lives we have as good and the God who drew near to us in Jesus as actually here This book will grieve you in a good way and carry you to the feet of Jesus where He ll ask you to take up your mat and walk But do you want to walk Do you want to set aside what is shiny and sugary and soul killing so you can savor the Presence of the God who is here This book artfully winsomely and wisely walks us to the wonder of life in Christ and the joy that can be ours when we keep company with Jesus by living in the unhurried rhythms of grace.

Ruthless elimination of hurry workbook This book has showed me a better way and it s been like a breath of fresh air to my soul There are definitely sections that felt heavy because they hit so close exposing parts of me that I ve hid for a long time behind the mask of busy ness Yet every thread he pulled unraveled things in me giving me words for things I didn t quite understand yet and methods to finding rest and slow again I honestly believe that every person needs to read this book to find a new way John Mark Comer Most life changing book ever John Mark Comer The ruthless elimination of hurry is nothing other than A book that would look nice on a coffee table or on your latest Instagram post The author and book seemed to have a lot of hype around it and was curious to read it However it didn t meet my expectations While there where a few key concepts I enjoyed they where easily lost in Unnecessary metaphors and jokes that seemed to go on for pages at a time The points that where made seemed over explained and drawn out however not in depth orelpful At first it read like a well researched book with multiple references to theologians pastors saints ect However after a while it felt as though the author lacks authenticity original thought and at times felt immature The message was overall messy Disengaging and in some areas off point. The ruthless elimination of hurry book study 00 cost of the hardcover book with size 15 font and double spacing could be best describe as a cash grab by a insta famous pastor There are helpful and insightful books on this subject One of which he mentions in his book which is the celebration of discipline another notable resource would be the practice of the presence of God and created for community Bookclubbook John Mark Comer Soooo big caveat I should have read the synopsis done research before just diving into this book I definitely didn t realize there would be such a heavy religious perspective That being said I didn t want not being Christian to stop me from giving the book a chance especially because the topic was intriguing But it did end up meaning that a lot of the book I just didn t relate to Again not a fault of the book that one is on me The ideas themselves I liked and will be trying but I wish the author gave concrete examples on how to execute There s actually an online workbook that s linked at the end of the book that I thought was soo helpful I wish he just included that in the book itself don t know why he didn t Because without that most of the book was one of two things 1 How we got to having such rushed lives and why it is bad for us which I think the person reading is generally aware of hence why they are reading the book and 2 why each of his four ideas are important help with heavy emphasis here on sourcing the Bible and Jesus Finally a minor note but a few timese seemed to put down other religions to elevate Christianity Jesus I noticed it particularly with Buddhism and it just didn t sit well with me nor was it necessary in my opinion John Mark Comer 4.
