Mark Batterson has a strong following among 20-30 something Christians who are passionate about their faith but suspicious of the consumer-oriented approach of many mega churches. Primal sheds troublesome cultural baggage for this reader while articulating fresh ways to embrace the elements of the faith.

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.

Reviews for 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 of Good News About Injustice, Terrify No More, and Just 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 book Touch Down Alexander From the Hardcover edition.
