Primal

Over the holiday break, I had the honor of reading a copy of Primal by Mark Batterson that was provided to me for review.  I have been a Batterson fan since In the Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day.  In fact, that book was encouraging to me as we made the risky move to Georgia to launch Freedom Church.

I loved the way that Batterson challenged the reader to challenge the status quo.  His strong encouragement for each person to ask the question, ‘Does what breaks the heart of God break yours?’ is something that every believer needs to ask themselves.

For me, the major theme of the book seemed to be summed up in this statement, ‘We must be great at the Great Commandment.’  If we would just focus on loving God and loving others, everything else would take care of itself.

Make sure Primal makes it onto your reading list in 2010.  You won’t regret it!!
