Primal by Mark Batterson

I am blessed to be able to read a book and offer my opinions on it. Simply because I responded to a call of 'would you like to join a blog tour'....the book is Primal A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity by Mark Batterson. I read In the Pit w/a Lion on a Snowy Day and was immediately sold, so looking forward to cracking the binding on a brand new book and seeing where God takes me...on page 8 of Chap. 1 he says.."My aim in this book is to take you to new places intellectually and spiritually so that you discover new ways of loving God. But I also hope this book takes you back to a primal place where God loved you and you loved God . And that's all that mattered."...I think I'm hooked.

So far in Chapters 1 and 2 he is reeling me in beautifully.....w/the perfect arc of challenging my thinking and encouraging my heart...if each of us simply took ownership of our unique, God-ordained passions, we'd start a coup de compassion the likes of which has not been seen since the first century.

This day my heart hurts.....not sure how to move out of it or if I am to move into it....my heart just hurts....
