Ruthless Elimination of Hurry | Ruthless

We have what Comer calls Hurry Sickness, and it is robbing us of an abundant life. What is Hurry Sickness, you wonder?  Cardiologists Meyer Friedman and R.H. Rosenman coined the term Hurry sickness in their 1985 book “Type A Behavior and Your Heart.” It isn’t an actual medical condition, but it is the cause of several medical conditions.

Do you constantly feel rushed or anxious? Do you live with a feeling of urgency to get things done when there is no need. When you are chronically in a hurry, it can mentally and physically affect you. Friedman and Rosenman found that hurry sickness… may even lead to stress-related heart issues.

Over the next six weeks we will journey through the big ideas of John Mark Comer’s fantastic book, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. The book itself does a masterful job in drawing out the desires Jesus has for us, and how Jesus’ desires for us to have an abundant life are in direct conflict with the way we have been trained to live life in our busy, hurried, hectic world.
