Hey friends, Batterson’s book “Primal” was finally released today, which you of course can’t get before Christmas (Kindle Edition!), but I really recommend grabbing it by the new year.

Batterson goes through the four ways that we love God: Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength. He really digs into each of them, using the metaphor of stairs descending down into the catacombs of our hearts. My favorite line is that we ought to be “great at the Great Commission,” a stirring statement for sure.

At first I thought, “He always writes about animals and ‘animalistic’ themes” but really, that’s what we need a lot of times! I’m pretty sure I *know* enough, probably more than many generations of Christians who took a stand and went for it. Perhaps we just need a forceful, primal reminder to get back to the basics and not make it terrifically complicated.

Well grab this book, it’s in stores now or from the Publisher

(Legally speaking, I have to mention that this book was given to me to be reviewed…)
