Book Club is a place to connect, share, and grow through Christian books and conversation.
About every seven weeks, we select a new book for each of us to read individually. After this period, we come together to discuss and share our thoughts on the book. This practice encourages us to engage in meaningful conversations with people we don’t often have the chance to talk with. It also broadens our understanding by exposing us to a variety of books and authors from different backgrounds and perspectives.

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
John Mark Comer
Who are you becoming? That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. By outward metrics, everything 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 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 compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favour of a slower, simpler way of life.
