The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: How to Stay Emotionally Healthy and Spiritually Alive in the Chaos of the Modern World
ECPA BESTSELLER • Ideal reading for Lent and a perfect Easter gift for anyone trying to live life to the fullest, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry is a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world—from the New York Times bestselling author of Practicing the Way
“Prophetic, practical, and profoundly life giving . . . provides a way forward that creates hope, hunger, and a vision of a beautiful life. I consider this required reading.”—Jon Tyson, lead pastor of the Church of the City New York and author of Beautiful Resistance
“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.
The perfect read to help you slow down during Lent or any other time of year, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry is a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

2024 Easter Fast
Doug Hene annually leads the Easter Fast, which commences at sundown on Thursday and concludes at sunrise on Sunday. Fasting, a practice spanning millennia, serves various purposes:
1. **Reminding Dependence**: Fasting serves to remind us of our dependence, echoing the words from Matthew 4:4, “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God” (as quoted by Jesus from Deuteronomy 8:3).
2. **Heeding the Call**: Jesus exhorts in Matthew 6, “when you fast,” not “if you fast.”
3. **Preparation for Challenges**: Fasting is embraced in preparation for significant decisions, moments of testing, humility, strength, discipline, and more.
4. **In Remembrance**: It is also observed to commemorate acts of repentance, adoration, and during times of suffering.
5. **Drawing Closer to God**: Fasting generates a persistent hunger, serving as a reminder of our spiritual journey. It is both a physical and spiritual discipline.
As we gear up to celebrate Jesus’s victory over death and our salvation, fasting becomes a means of preparation. Lent, in particular, is a period of readiness, drawing us closer to God as we approach the commemoration of His death and resurrection. Fasting from Good Friday to Easter intensifies the sense of preparation and remembrance.
The nature of your fast is a personal choice. You have the freedom to shape it according to your preferences. Some may abstain from both food and drink, while others may allow water. A few might choose to eat only during sundown, in line with Jewish tradition. Alternatively, some may opt for a digital detox, fasting from social media and electronics.
Stay tuned for further details as the event draws nearer.

Inaugural "No Book Club" Meeting
Cornerstone Mortgage Group, LLC, 41 Marietta St, Alpharetta, GA, 30009, us
Dear Christian Men,
We are excited to announce the first meeting of the “No Book Club” and warmly invite you to join us. Our vision is to forge deeply meaningful connections among like-minded individuals, guiding us to live in alignment with our mission and the teachings of God’s Word. The club aims to foster a supportive environment where every man is encouraged to become his best self, as God intended.
In contrast to the larger gatherings of the KRCS Men’s Group, the “No Book Club” is designed to ensure active participation from everyone. We plan to form small groups of six to nine men, maintaining consistent membership where possible. Our meetings will adopt a structured yet flexible agenda, including:
* Welcome and Confidentiality Reminder
* One Word Opener (each participant)
* Individual Shares (6-10 minutes per person on personal wins, challenges, etc.)
* Discussion and Q&A
* Topic Presentation (chosen based on members’ interests)
* Planning for future meetings and events
* One Word Close
Our aim is to tackle topics that resonate with our members, such as finding one’s purpose or navigating difficult decisions.
**Inaugural Meeting Details:**
* **Location:** Cornerstone Mortgage, 41 Marietta St., Alpharetta, GA 30009 (special thanks to Chad!)
* **Date:** Tuesday, March 19, 2024
* **Time:** 12:30 PM SHARP (Please strive to be punctual to ensure a productive session)
* **Duration:** Approximately 90 minutes
* **Open to:** All men interested in personal and spiritual growth
We believe in the importance of keeping each group intimate, with fewer than ten members, allowing for flexibility in scheduling and agenda setting.
This kickoff meeting is crucial for shaping the direction of our club. We’ll discuss the club’s core concepts, personal aspirations for membership, and immediate support needs among members, ensuring a collaborative and beneficial journey for everyone.
Should you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact John Marshall at john@marshallsemail.com or 404-660-8500. Your participation and insights are highly valued, and we look forward to embarking on this journey together.
Warm regards,
John Marshall

**Book of the Month**
From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness, and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life by Arthur C. Brooks
The roadmap for finding purpose, meaning, and success as we age, from bestselling author, Harvard professor, and the Atlantic’s happiness columnist Arthur Brooks.
Many of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging. But the truth is, the greater our achievements and our attachment to them, the more we notice our decline, and the more painful it is when it occurs.
What can we do, starting now, to make our older years a time of happiness, purpose, and yes, success?
At the height of his career at the age of 50, Arthur Brooks embarked on a seven-year journey to discover how to transform his future from one of disappointment over waning abilities into an opportunity for progress. From Strength to Strength is the result, a practical roadmap for the rest of your life.
Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness.
Read this book and you, too, can go from strength to strength.

Identify the source of missteps in your marriage – and learn exactly what you can do about them! Tired of arguing with your spouse over the same old issues? Longing for a marriage with less conflict and more intimacy? Struggling under a load of resentment? In How We Love, relationship experts Milan and Kay Yerkovich draw on the powerful tool of attachment theory to show how your early life experiences created an “intimacy imprint” – an underlying blueprint that shapes your behavior, beliefs, and expectations of all relationships, especially your marriage. They identify four types of injured imprints that combine in marriage to trap couples in a repetitive dance of pain. The groundbreaking principles and practical, solution-focused tools in this book will equip you to…
* Identify the imprints disrupting your marriage
* Understand how your love style impacts your mate
* Break free of negative patterns that hinder your relationship
* Enhance your sexual intimacy
* Create the deeper, richer marriage of your dreams
Discover the truths that have transformed countless relationships – including the authors’ marriage – so you can stop stepping on each other’s toes and instead be swept along by the music of a richer, more passionate relationship.
