Ask anyone how they are doing, and most times it won’t take too long for them to say, “Busy.” Living hurried lives is so normal that it has reached levels of cultural pandemic. We are increasingly overloaded, overwhelmed, and unrested.
But that isn’t the life we are called to live in Jesus.
Is it possible to live unhurried lives in such a rushed world? Do the ancient practices of the faith still matter? John Mark Comer addresses these topics in his book, “Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.” He says that not only is it possible, but essential if we want to experience the abundant life that Jesus offers. And the tools to live in the modern world are older than you think.
This has been one of my favorite books and has radically changed the way I think of work and rest.
