In his latest book, To Hell with the Hustle, Jefferson Bethke will help you understand why the hustle can seem so alluring, show you how to avoid the traps it's created in our culture, and find true joy chasing after Christ instead." �??Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.

This book was a wonderful read and a much needed message. Although it wasn’t exhaustive on the subject, it is definitely a vital book in the curriculum for figuring out how to live a peaceful, joyful, and content life in Christ while also living in our hurrying and hustling culture. (

A great book that helps put into perspective God's call on our lives and the pace at which we should live it. - Chris Lamberth

A call to slow down in a hurried society. - Ethan King

The title is the point of the book. Chapters contain examples of hustle, information overload, and busyness. In other words, stop doing what is written about in the book. (

This is a much needed book in this day and time. In a crazy busy technology world we are now living in, we are losing our true identities and what really matters in life. Our identity is not found in our number of followers and real relationship does not happen using a device. Jefferson Bethke is wise beyond his years and has realized what some of our actions nowadays will mean for ourselves and our society in the future. I respect him and his family for slowing down, taking time to rest, and taking time away from the devices. His message is one that needs to be heard by all.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed are entirely my own. (

I was really excited when I first saw that Jefferson Bethke was writing another book, and even signed up to be a part of the launch team (didn't get to be a part of the team, unfortunately). After reading To Hell With The Hustle now however, I'm not as impressed.

The writing is great. Bethke does a great job laying out an engaging book. However, I couldn't tell if he was going for self-help or religious breakdown of work. And that is a problem. Just because an author uses scripture to back up religious arguments, it doesn't mean that the book had sufficient groundwork to explain why scripture was necessary.

To Hell with The Hustle did not lay out the groundwork necessary to warrant sprinkling scripture where scripture makes no sense. After a while, the use of scripture felt forced and tortured. I genuinely do not recommend picking up a copy of To Hell with The Hustle. And that makes me sad, because I really enjoyed Bethke's writing style.
