Book Review

The Christian life is full of this, that and the other. We get caught up in traditions, craft projects in Sunday School, and ten choir practices a week. Caught up in activities and theological debates, we often forget what the very core of our faith is.

When asked what the greatest commandment was, Jesus answered, "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." (Mark 12:30) The essence of our faith and purpose as Christians. In his book Primal, Mark Batterson explores what it means to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. And we are always in need of a fresh reminder of the basics.

Although there are sections of Mark Batterson's book I would not wholly agree with, he does a great job of bringing to the forefront of our minds the purpose of our life. A much needed reminder of what I need to be doing daily as one of God's own.
