Primal: A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity
“Mark weaves us through the Great Commandment with insights that are both winsome and wise, piquing both curiosity and conviction. He calls us to a discipleship free of the trappings of shriveled self-concern, drawing us to give ourselves, with abandon, to others as we heed Jesus’ call to love God above all. This book will fuel clarity of call and persevering strength for those who will journey in obedience to the Gospel—in its wholeness of justice, mercy, and faithfulness—for a lifetime.”—GARY HAUGEN, president and CEO of International Justice Mission and author ofGood News About Injustice,Terrify No More, andJust Courage “Too many of us are doing life at an unsustainable pace and losing sight of our first love.
