As a fan of Mark Batterson, I couldn't wait to read his new book, Soulprint. He didn't let me down. With a similar feel to In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, Batterson weaves through a story in the Bible drawing great parallels to today's life situations. In "Soulprint" the subject is David - the ultimate and greatest Old Testament example of living for God (even in the face of great failure). His writing style is very conversational which makes it very easy to read and understand what might have been going through David's mind. Batterson also uses modern illustrations so that the average scholar can understand David's times and methods (i.e. Batterson talks about newspaper headlines and uses modern slang to illustration life in David's time).
Ultimately this book is a great encouragement and source of wisdom for a generation that has lost their drive to figure our their place in God's design for humanity. A must read for the theologian, the pastor, the deacon, and the lay person. Soulprint leaves a big imprint on the reader.
