Primal review

I am participating in a virtual book tour for Marks Battersons latest book Primal. I will write a little as I go because i am not sure I'll will finish the book or the blog in the time they have asked us to.

Mark challenges his readers to strip away the old layers of Christian stuff, a getting back to our first love. It is an emergant study of the great commandment, to love the Lord with all your heart with all your soul mind and strength, and what that looks like without the traditions we have attached, even those of us in the pentecostal movement, though we have been people who prided ourselves of breaking away from traditionalism we really have made our own traditions. Though in an emergant style it is not a compromising book as some of the "seeker friendly Bill Hybels" following. This is a book that calls for revolution in christians lives. Marks says one problem we have is we can forget about being great at the great commandment we are not even good at it.

There will be more to come
