In Primal Mark Batterson asks, "What would your Christianity look like if it were stripped down to the simplest faith possible?  You would have more, not less. You would have the beginning of a new reformation--in your generation, you church, your soul.  You would have primal Christianity."

Christians have a tendency to complicate Christianity.  Jesus simplified it:  Love God with all your heart, soul, minds, and strength.  Batterson reminds readers that if they are to live out the essence of Christianity, they must rediscover what it means to be great at this Great Commandment. 

Batterson explores the foundational elements of  "Great Commandment Christianity":  compassion, wonder, curiosity, and power. Primal speaks directly to Batterson's most loyal audience: twenty-something Christians who are passionate about their faith but suspicious of many churches.  This story-oriented, highly original book spins the spiritual kaleidoscope for these readers, articulation fresh ways to embrace the elements of faith.
