Primal
My most recent book from Waterbrook Multnomah is Primal: A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity by Mark Batterson. It has taken me a long time to get through this book. Mainly because it wasn't what I expected, and the introduction put me off a little bit. While I can't explain why, I have a negative connotation of the word "primal", and I struggled with that through the introduction. Yet, because I agreed to review this book, I have forged on through. And I am very thankful that I did. This is a book that really caused me to stand back and think. Really examine myself and my spiritual walk with God. Batterson's book has caused me to want to give more, to feel more, to spend more time in silent wonder with God. He has a knack for explaining the basic precepts of Christianity clearly and then peeling back the layers of religiousity and ritual that we have somehow added to make ourselves "better"....
