If you've ever wanted a pastor to weigh in on the uber-important topic on whether or not King Saul went #1 or #2 in the cave where David hid, then I have the book for you.
You've never wanted that? Well, I still have the book for you.
Mark Batterson, pastor of the National Community Church in DC has written quite a powerful little book in Soul Print. It is full of great Twitter-sized quotes. It took me until I was halfway through the book to realize where I had read some of these quotes before. (I follow Mark on Twitter.)
Don't let the idea that an idea can fit in 140 characters or less lead you to believe that this book has nothing to offer. From start to finish, this book has great insight as we ask the important question, who am I?
Here are just a couple of nuggets;
It's really quite a simple idea (I wish I had thought of it). Just like each of us has a unique fingerprint, Mark describes how we each have a unique soulprint. It's classic truth told in a very engaging way. God made you who and how you are for a reason, but how do you discover it?
To guide us on this quest, Mark follows the life of David, showing us that key moments in our lives are windows into our soul, telling us who we are. But don't be fooled. This isn't simply a feel-good, God made you special type of book. Mark delivers truth that can sometimes be difficult to accept, much less live out. That's what pastors do. That's what Mark has done here.
I received this book from Waterbrook Multnomah for the purpose of reviewing it. They don't tell me what to think about it, they just ask that I display those thoughts for all of you. So here you go. You can purchase your copy here.
Oh, and he does the answer that question about King Saul. The answer is more important than you might think.

Here are just a couple of nuggets;
'Perceived disadvatages often prove to be disguised advantages because they
force us to develop attitudes and abilities that would have otherwise gone
undiscovered.'
'It's not our experiences that make us or break us. It's our interpretation
of and explanation for those experiences that ultimately determines who we
become.'
