Primal is a book whose time has come. In this day of complexity and multiple choices, the gospel gets lost in confusion, denominationalism, and politics. Primal is a call to reformation. A reformation back to where you met God and God met you.
Primal is a call to live the Great Commandment . . . or Primal Commandment. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
What would happen to this world if a movement of people really lived the Great Commandment? What if our churches were all about this Commandment and less about religion and doing church? As Mark states, “Christianity was never intended to be a noun. And when we turn it into a noun it becomes a turnoff. God doesn’t reward what we know. He doesn’t reward what we say. He rewards the expenditure of energy.”
Implementing Primal is daring. It’s exciting. It ignites the next reformation of God’s people. It’s regaining the fire that obsessed Christ’s disciples that turned the world upside down. It moves Christianity from a noun to an action verb once again.
This book is a must read for pastors, church leaders, and small group leaders. Read, discuss, and start a new reformation. Make Primal the 1st book your read in 2010!
