Story
A fresh, challenging and compassionate response to busyness, based on the way of life Jesus offered his disciples. Who are you becoming? That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. By outward metrics, everything 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 continues to be the answer he needs.

Story
In the beginning, God created Adam. Then he made Eve. And ever since we've been picking up the pieces. Loveology is just that - a theology of love. With an autobiographical thread that turns an audiobook into a story, pastor and speaker John Mark Comer shares about what is right in male/female relationships - what God intended in the Garden. And about what is wrong - the fallout in a post-Eden world. Loveology starts with marriage and works backward.

Young people today enter adulthood with expectations of blissful dating followed by romantic, fulfilling marriages only to discover they've been duped. They learned about love and sexuality from social media, their friends, Disney fairy tales, pornography, or even their own rocky pasts, and they have no idea what healthy, lifelong love is supposed to be like. The results are often disastrous, with this generation becoming one of the most relationally sick, sexually addicted, and divorce-ridden in history.

We live in a time when our culture is becoming increasingly shallow, coarse, and empty. Radical shifts in the areas of sexuality, ethics, technology, secular ideologies, and religion have caused the once-familiar landscape of a generation ago to be virtually unrecognizable. Yet rather than shine as a beacon of light, the church often is silent or accommodating. This isn’t a new phenomenon. During World War II, pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was deeply troubled by the compromise in the German church.

For decades, we set our hopes on technology, politics, and the appearance of peace. We wanted to believe we were headed somewhere better - that progress was happening. But now, as our technology ensnares and isolates us, our politics threaten to tear us apart and our cultural decline continues to accelerate, people are understandably distressed. But throughout history, these periods of decline traditionally precede powerful spiritual renewal - and even revival. What if all the bad news in this world is actually good news for the church?

Dan Strange encourages Christians to engage with everything they watch, to read and play in a positive and discerning way. He also teaches Christians how to think and speak about culture in a way that plugs in to a bigger and better reality - the story of King Jesus, and his cosmic plan for the world. It's possible to watch TV and read novels and play video games in a way that actually feeds our faith, rather than withers it. It's even possible for you - yes, you - to be that person who starts off talking to a mate about last night's football and ends up talking about Jesus.

But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could?

Most Christians know they should be trying to tell their friends and family about Jesus. But in a post-Christendom world, personal evangelism is viewed negatively - it's offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive. Recent studies confirm that the majority of Christians rarely evangelize, worried they might offend their family or lose their friends. Here, author Sam Chan equips everyday Christians who are reluctant and nervous to tell their friends about Jesus with practical, tested ways of sharing their faith in the least awkward ways possible.

Story
Many of us ache for relationship with God, yet feel distant and disconnected from him. As if he's more of an idea we believe in our head than a person we relate to. But God has a name: Yahweh. This one simple idea has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way.

Publisher's Summary
This is your wake-up call to resist the Hustle culture and embrace the slowness of Jesus.
Our culture makes constant demands of us: Do more. Accomplish more. Buy more. Post more. Be more.
In following these demands, we have indeed become more: More anxious. More tired. More hurt. More depressed. More frantic.
What we are doing isn't working!
In a society where hustle is the expectation, busyness is the norm and information is king, we have forgotten the fundamentals that make us human, anchor our lives, and provide meaning.
Jefferson Bethke, New York Times best-selling author and popular YouTuber, has lived the hustle and knows we need to stop doing and start becoming.
After listening to this book, you will discover:
- How to proactively set boundaries in your life
- How to get comfortable with obscurity
- The best way to push back against the demands of contemporary life
- The importance of embracing silence and solitude
- How to handle the stressors that life throws at us
To Hell With the Hustle is for anyone who is:
- Feeling overwhelmed with the demands of work, family and community
- Wanting to connect and spend time with their family
- Tired of being anxious, lonely, and burned out
Join Bethke as he discovers that the very things the world teaches us to avoid at all costs - silence, obscurity, solitude, and vulnerability - are the very things that can give us the meaning, and the richness we are truly looking for.

Meh. Listen to John Mark Comer instead.
This book was very disappointing to me. I bought it primarily because of the promise of a discussion of obscurity in the description, which ended up being a very small part of the content. Overall, Bethke's writing is clunky, disorganized, and lacks nuance, and his narration sounds unprofessional. I perceived the tone of the book as rather angry and ranting, and his whole approach to the topic of a lifestyle change is not like a gentle push in the right direction, more like a rough shove. There are gobs of "what if" statements but little actual content on how to get there. Also, he starts the book with an analogy about walking on the moon--except he states that there is no gravity on the moon and if you're not tethered you'll float off into space. Umm, what? No editor caught that? If you're interested in this topic, you should listen to John Mark Comer's The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry instead. It's better researched, has more references and quotes from other authors and thinkers, and is infinitely more enjoyable to listen to. The narration is better, the writing is better, and the topic is essentially the same. Comer calls it hurry, Bethke calls it hustle. Comer calls it practices, Bethke calls it formations.

"....and to faith in Jesus"
there, fixed the title. this is a religious book. if you study mental health deeply, this book may not help (because you already have lots of methods/concepts to go off of). if you are not religious, this book will get awkward. if you expect great points of view that will help you tone down the hustle, don't get your hopes up with this book. if you are Christian, this will fit you better. if you are Jewish, well... I don't know what to say.

I almost didn’t listen to this book. I follow the author and have since he first went viral, and after reading the title I thought, “I already know the gist of the book: slow down.” But I’m SO glad I listened. There’s some really wisdom here, and I loved that the author read it himself. It’s a short book, and great read. And it made me really reconsider my lifestyle and perspectives of time and community. So good!

I love Jefferson Bethke. I’ve read “Jesus>Religion” and “It’s Not What You Think.” I’m perplexed time and time again at how the context of his books are exactly what I need to hear in that particular time in my life. This book was no different. Thank you Jefferson, may God continue to bless you and your family. Please don’t ever stop sharing your story because I know you’ve blessed and will continue to bless many lives, including mine.

This book was Insightful and eye opening toward cultural issues and norms that are impacting my daily life. There are many things that I’m reflecting on and evaluating to implement for myself and family. I want to be slow and steady, committed and faithful, and to not just do much, but rather to be who God has called me to be. I believe this book will really help me and my family as we create rhythms that will form us more into His likeness.

Oh man, what a book!! Jeff so clearly and engagingly breaks down the cultural and global influence of hustle mentality, drive for worldly success and "becoming" and how it lives so counter to the way of Jesus' hope for us. To live out of a place of true rest, in abundance of His success on the cross and in the knowledge of our identity in Him and the price He paid so we didn't need to bow to the pressure to "become" anything. Truly this book is amazing.
