"This is the first book you should read in 2010." Yes, that is the publishers asked reviewers to say... and it is true!Pastor Mark Batterson of National Community Church in Washington, DC has written another superb book, that I simply cannot recommend highly enough. The intent of the book is to help Christians live out the Great Commandment - love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. In short, he argues that believers must demonstrate compassion (heart), wonder (soul), curiosity (mind), and energy (strength).
Primal is both impossible to put down and impossible to not put down. The reader cannot get enough of this well-written and provocative challenge that gives practical ways to live out the Great Commandment. You just want to keep reading for the next golden nugget of truth explained so plainly. Yet one needs to stop and pause (after almost each page) to reflect on the convicting words of the author. Batterson's mind and pen (or laptop!) have clearly been led by the Spirit to penetrate the hearts and minds of readers as he explains the biblical principles of living out Primal Christianity.
I highly recommend this book as a great challenge to the heart, soul, mind and strength of each believer wanting to make 2010 a year that counts for Christ and His Kingdom.
