John Mark Comer

Comer led a large church in Portland, Oregon, then stepped back from it to teach and write about the pace of modern life. The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry argues that speed and distraction are spiritual problems rather than scheduling ones, and prescribes silence, sabbath and simplicity, drawing heavily on Dallas Willard. It sold well past evangelical readers. His claims about screens and rest carry no clinical evidence behind them, which matters because they are often read as health advice.
