Primal by Mark Batterson



Be Astonished Again


We have a tendency to complicate Christianity. Jesus simplified it: Love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength. If we are to live out the essence of Christianity, we must commit to being great at this Great Commandment.

In Primal, Mark Batterson explores the four elements of Great Commandment Christianity: compassion, wonder, curiosity, and power. Along the way, he calls you to be a part of God’s reformation, starting in your own life.

As Mark writes, “Is there a place in your past where you met God and God met you? A place where your heart broke for the things that break the heart of God? Maybe it was a sermon that became more than a sermon. Maybe it was a mission trip or retreat. Maybe it was a vow you made at an altar. In that moment, God birthed something supernatural in your spirit. You knew you’d never be the same again. My prayer is that this book would take you back to that burning bush—and reignite a primal faith.”

Primal will help you live in light of what matters most and discover what it means to love God. It will help you become great at the Great Commandment.

With the craziness of the Christmas season, plus a two week bout with the flu, I'm behind in my reading. I've glanced through Primal, and it looks intriguing. I'll be posting a complete review soon, but wanted to let you know about this new book by dynamic author Mark Batterson!

My thanks to the folks at Waterbrook/Multnomah for my complimentary copy!

Happy Reading!
