I've really enjoyed reading Mark Batterson's new book, Primal. If you, like me, are a fan of Mark's blog and other books, you won't be disappointed with his new release.
The book is a challenge to simplify this quest of following Jesus by becoming great at the great commandment. Love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength. The book outlines that primal command with inspirational thoughts on rediscovering compassion (heart), wonder (soul), curiosity (mind), and energy (strength) in our pursuit of Christ.
Like anything that Mark writes, I can't stop underlining. The research he includes from various fields of study fill the book with illustrations that keep me nodding on almost every page.
God has given Mark a gift to say important, old truths in fresh, new ways. If you're looking for a book to help you recalibrate in the beginning of the New Year, I highly recommend Primal.
Go ahead, check it out, and order a copy for Christmas!
I appreciate WaterBrook Multnomah Publishers for providing me with a copy to review. I know I'll be coming back to it many times.
