The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer

Week 13: Review & Reflection — The Whole Journey

No new reading this week. Review your notes, journal entries, and any margins you wrote in throughout the book.

This final week is not about more content — it is about integration. Take your time with these questions and be as honest and specific as you can be.

Discussion Questions

8 questions

1.Looking back over the entire book, which chapter or idea landed with the most force for you personally? What was it about that moment that broke through?

2.Comer's central argument is that hurry is a spiritual disease, that Jesus is the cure, and that ancient practices are the medicine. Do you now accept that diagnosis for your own life? How has your understanding of your own relationship to hurry changed since you began?

3.Of the four practices — Sabbath, simplicity, slowing, and silence/solitude — which one have you already begun experimenting with? What have you discovered? Which one still feels most out of reach?

4.Comer writes that the goal is not to read this book but to become a different kind of person. Looking honestly at your life right now, what evidence do you see — however small — that this study is beginning to form something new in you?

5.Is there someone in your life — a family member, friend, or colleague — who you think needs to read this book? Have you shared any of what you have learned with them? What has held you back, or what has the conversation been like?

Father, we have traveled through this book together, and we have been convicted, challenged, and encouraged. Thank you for the gift of this time — for the permission to slow down, to examine our lives, and to want something better. What we want more than rest, more than simplicity, more than silence, is *you*. Give us the grace to build lives that make room for you. And when we speed up again — as we will — bring us back to this: the gentle, unhurried invitation of Jesus. Come to me. We will keep coming. Amen.
