1st of the Year Recommended Read: Primal by Mark Batterson

New Years is approaching, resolutions are being made. The first resolution you can make is to read Primal by Mark Batterson

This book is a MUST read for all Christians...especially for those tired of the status quo of the Christian church.

This book starts off taking us from the catacombs in Rome of the Primal beginnings of Christianity and continues on the journey of Primal Christianity in a modern context.

In the quest of the lost soul of Christianity Batterson writes that we're not great at the Great Commandment, Mark 12:30 says Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'

The book walks us through the exploration and rediscovery of Primal Christianity, on a personal level to help readers rediscover their primal faith, and to pinpoint the moment they encountered God felt a sense of awe, wonder, curiosity, and compassion.

Batterson talks about the heart of Christianity & compassion, the drop in the bucket effect, the soul of Christianity and how wonder is involved in seeing with our souls. He also talks about having a holy curiosity, a God idea, and the importance of sweat equity.

I could go and list EVERYTHING that I've gotten out of the book, but there's not enough time to write it, not to mention you wouldn't go read it!

I will say this.

You MUST start off 2010 by reading this book. It's an absolute MUST. For those looking to redefine what it means to love God, and to allow God's reformation in your own life...this book is an ABSOLUTE MUST.

I am about to give my copy of this book to my mother (who steals all my books anyhow from time to time) and BUY a copy, it was THAT GOOD. A Life changing book (and i don't say that about many books...there are only two other books I've said that about...and one of them is the bible...so what does that say about it?)

GO GET THIS BOOK! You won't regret it, it'll be the best $18 you ever spent!
