Product Description
Our generation needs a reformation.
But a single person won’t lead it.
A single event won’t define it.
Our reformation will be a movement of reformers living creatively, compassionately, courageously for the cause of Christ.
This reformation will not be born of a new discovery. It will be the rediscovery of something old, something ancient.
Something primal.
---Mark Batterson, Primal
What would your Christianity look like if it was stripped down to the simplest, rawest, purest faith possible? You would have more, not less. You would have the beginning of a new reformation---in your generation, your church, your own soul. You would have primal Christianity.
This book is an invitation to become part of a reformation movement. It is an invitation to rediscover the compassion, wonder, curiosity, and energy that turned the world upside down two thousand years ago. It is an invitation to be astonished again.

I have been very challenged by Batterson's book... It is changing the way i think and wish to live my life...

read this book 15 years ago... It would have changed the way I lived life!! | | |  | Become Part of God's Reformation Apr 2, 2010 |
Let me just say it. I love Mark Batterson. In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day is one of my all time favorite books. Now he's written another book: Primal: A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity and it's almost as good.
Batterson says we have a tendency to complicate Christianity. He suggests that we need to turn from all the modern schemes to promote Christianity, our churches, and our programs, and return to the basics of our faith. He says that Jesus simplified it in the Great Commandment (Mark 12:30), which Batterson calls the Primal Commandment: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." He invites us to become astonished again. 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 us to become a part of God's reformation, starting in your own life.
He 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. It would be a worthwhile book for your small group. | | | | Relevent. Insightful. Compelling. Mar 18, 2010 |
PRIMAL is a search into the soul of the modern Christian. Written by Pastor Mark Batterson, the book is a call to believers to reconnect with God in powerful, compelling, passionate ways. Primal is a hymn for the faithful and a love song to the Father.
Mark explores what it means to fulfill the Great Commandment, "to love God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind". This scripture rolls off the tongue and may even stir the heart but what exactly does it look like? How can we live out the most important directive; actually, honestly, sweatily, energetically, passionately?
He pairs off heart and compassion; soul and wonder; mind and curiosity; energy and strength describing how to live and walk and skip and run with God. It all adds up to love.
Batterson is like a nine year old kid with skinned knees, tussled hair, runny nose and big grin on his face. Chasing ducks and birds, gangly-legged, swinging at the sky, Batterson says, "Follow me. I'm chasing after God, gonna have some fun and get a little grimy and you can come too!"
Mark Batterson is going deeper with God. I can't wait to join him.
Amo Dei.
