The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Paperback • Spiritual Formation • John Mark Comer • ECPA Bestseller

In a world that never slows down, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry invites readers to rediscover a quieter, more intentional life with God.

Written out of personal burnout and deep reflection, John Mark Comer explores how hurry and busyness quietly undermine emotional health and spiritual vitality. Drawing on Scripture, the way of Jesus, and time-tested spiritual practices, this book offers a compelling call to slow down—not to do less, but to become more attentive to God and more present to the people around us.

With clarity and pastoral wisdom, Comer helps readers identify the cost of constant hurry and gently guides them toward rhythms of rest, simplicity, and abiding with Christ.

Inside you’ll find:
• Insight into why hurry is so spiritually damaging
• A vision for emotional health rooted in the unhurried way of Jesus
• Practical rhythms to create margin and space for God
• Encouragement to resist busyness and live with greater presence

Thoughtful, grounding, and deeply relevant, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry is an invitation to ask a better question—not just what am I doing? but who am I becoming?
