I have been a fan of Mark Batterson since I picked up his first book, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day. I enjoy his straightforward style of writing that makes it seem like he is sitting across from you at a table having a one-on-one conversation. Based on his other books, I was excited to open up Soulprint and see where the conversation would lead…and I was not disappointed.
In Soulprint, he begins and ends with this thought, “There has never been and never will be anyone else like you. But that isn’t a testament to you. It’s a testament to the God who created you”. Through each chapter the reader is taken on a journey of self-discovery. You will be encouraged to find your “soulprint” by looking at your life through the eyes of God. Using the example of the life of David in the Old Testament, Mark points out how God directed David to fulfill his destiny and, in the process, shows us how we can learn those same lessons. Each chapter is full of insightful thoughts on David’s life, as well as challenging and sometimes uncomfortable comments on how we live our lives today.
Soulprint is an excellent, easy read that will challenge you to examine your life in a bigger, God-sized view. I would consider this a must-read for everyone that is looking to have their life make an impact for God in their sphere of influence. Through your own self-discovery, you will see how uniquely God has made you, so that you can live your life to the fullest and honor and worship the God Who made you!
