Primal:
A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity
By Mark Batterson (WaterBrook Multnomah, 2009)

“The last reformation was a reformation of creeds. The next reformation will be a reformation of deeds. The last reformation was symbolized by one central figure. The next reformation will be led by millions of reformers living compassionately, creatively and courageously for the cause of Christ. It will be marked by broken hearts and sanctified imaginations. And the driving force will be the love of God. A love that is full of compassion, wonder, curiosity and energy.” –Mark Batterson, from the book
