To Hell with the Hustle

This is a timely reminder for us to slow the heck down!
Jefferson Bethke gently reminds us that Jesus lived a slow life, not a fast-paced, hectic, anxiety-inducing, noise polluted life. Jesus sought out solitude and quiet times for prayer and reflection. He wasn't afraid of what a quiet soul would reveal about him, or what crazy things His mind would think if He let it be still.
I especially appreciated the chapter on noise pollution, and what it's doing to our psyches.
This book is not just a call for us to slow down, it's the public outing of productivity as our new idol.
I could not agree more!
It is a faith-based book, but there's also a bunch of juicy science in here to prove the points, which is always fun!
