The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry


Book Description

ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life “As someone all too familiar with ‘hurry sickness,’ I desperately needed this book.”—Scott Harrison, New York Times best-selling author of Thirst “Who am I becoming?” That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he 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 was—and 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 fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

Cramming for the Finals


Book Description

How can a fourth-century theology be relevant today? Is the Bible meant to be taken literally? Can Jesus be stripped of some of his titles? These are just a few of the questions that the author, a Progressive Christian Episcopal clergyperson, answers in this provocative book. Cramming for the Finals offers fresh ideas on how to look at God/Creator, Jesus the human, Paul, Mary (wife of Jesus), the Bible, Mariology, dogma, and doctrine. As the author takes you through his fascinating life's journey, he reveals the tremendous power that the man Jesus, who was executed almost two thousand years ago, still can have on individuals and the world today. You'll discover new ways to look at ancient ideas, why we need to promote God and demote Jesus, how four-thousand-year-old ideas can work now, ways to think outside the institutional church's tight little box, and how to save the church from itself. This book challenges longstanding beliefs to make Christianity speak to people in the twenty-

Book Description

*LOVE *JOY *PEACEA Tasty Sample of Spiritual Fruit ThatWill Give You A Boost For The Day! (Special Color Edition)By Pastor Cecil A. ThompsonBack in the 1970's I was Deputy Director of the Idaho Law Enforcement Planning Commission. I also taught a few night classes in the Criminal Justice field at Boise State University.One term I was called by the Registrar's Office and asked to teach a large class in Sociology. I had my Master's Degree in Sociology and agreed to teach it.Most of the night classes had about 20 students and that was what I was anticipating. To my surprise there were over 120 registered. I now became more of an entertainer than professor. The first class session I gave the assignment to write three most important qualities they wanted in their life.The answers were: 1. LOVE! 2. JOY! 3. PEACE! When I read their results I opened to Galatians and read Galatians 5:22-23; "But the fruit of the Spirit is * Love, * Joy, * Peace, * Longsuffering, * Kindness, * Goodness, * Faithfulness, * Gentleness, * Self-Control. Against such there is no law." But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." I think that those qualities are what we all seek to find. How sad people seek in all the wrong places. This book will help you find just the right "SPIRITUAL FRUIT" for your day.
