Over the past several years, Mark Batterson has become my favorite author. I follow his blog and try to get my hands on his new books as soon as possible. One of the things I love about Mark is that he is so prayerfully intentional with his books - he prays over what he is writing and asks God to put his books into the hands of people that it will help, and I truly believe that his prayers work.
Mark's writing can reach anyone at any point in their life. Right now, I personally am going through a bit of a transition, one where I am questioning my faith and God's hand in my life. Soulprint could not have landed in my hands at a better moment. Within the first two pages of the book, Mark's writing had cut straight to the core of my soul. I ended up re-reading those first two pages several times that first night and then meditating on Mark's words until I went to sleep. I couldn't even read any further, I couldn't believe how much truth Mark had put into my life in just two pages!
I read Mark's book within about a week, which is pretty fast for me to complete a book, and found myself often sitting and contemplating the book. This is not a book that you can just sit, read the information, and move on with your life. This book will have you reflecting on your own life, who you are as an individual in the eyes of God, and moving forward in a way that will positively change your view on yourself, life, and God.
I highly recommend any of Mark's books, and especially his new book, Soulprint. I have already ordered 4 extra copies to give to friends and family so that they can also begin their journey to find who they truly are in God's infinite love.
