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. In his new book,Primal, Mark Batterson invites you to rediscover the reality of Christ and His passions. This book will challenge you, push you, and stretch you. You will walk away righteously aggravated, but catapulted into action.”—CRAIG GROESCHEL, senior pastor of LifeChurch.tv “Mark, I’m with you. It’s time for believers to be more. Let’s hear the voice of God and be that holy, passionate fire that we are called to be. It’s the primal way.”—SHAUN ALEXANDER, 2005 NFL MVP, acclaimed speaker, and author of award-winning bookTouch Down Alexander
