Finished up some reading I’m getting pretty far behind on – Multnomah Books sent me a review copy of Mark Batterson’s new book Primal: A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity. To me, Mark feels like half amateur scientist and half pastor, dragging his readers back in time to the origins of faith with both Scripture and science. My favorite chapter was The Island of Colorblind, which focuses on the lack of wonder in Christians any more. That we are so familiar with faith we no longer truly see it for the radical nature and God at the very heart of it. Really good stuff to challenge us about what God is calling us to do while we’re here on earth.
