					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.jeffrandleman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Soul-Print.jpeg?resize=100%2C150" alt="Soul Print" title="Soul Print" width="100" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2004" />Mark Batterson’s new book is another home run!  I was first introduced to Batterson when I read <a href="http://www.jeffrandleman.com/primal" target="_self"><em>Primal</em></a>.  I loved it!  It was one of the best books I read in 2010.  So I wondered just how Batterson’s new book would compare.  Batterson has done it again.  <em>Soul Print</em> is an excellent resource and challenges you to live your life more completely.</p>
<p>In <em>Soul Print</em>, Batterson sets put to help the reader understand their identity and destiny in Christ.  In order to do this, he examines the life of David as an example.  Batterson identifies several defining moments in David’s life that helped him understand just who he was.</p>
<ul>
<li>David rejected King’s Saul’s armor and instead used his sling to defeat Goliath.</li>
<li>David allowed God to use his skills with a sling and harp strategically.</li>
<li>David kept Goliath’s armor after defeating him.</li>
<li>David refrained from harming King Saul when he found him in the cave.</li>
<li>David danced before the Ark of the Covenant as it was returned to Jerusalem.</li>
<li>David stayed home from war and entered a sinful relationship with Bathsheba.</li>
<li>David received God’s promise to establish his descendants on the throne.</li>
</ul>
<p>Some were good; some weren’t.  But these are some of the moments in David’s life that made him who he was.  These moments defined him.</p>
<p>Batterson uses each of these examples to ask the same question of the reader.  Who are you?  More importantly, <em>whose</em> are you?</p>
<p>You see, you can’t understand your destiny until you comprehend your identity.  But you can’t grasp your identity until you grasp who God is, because he made you in his image.</p>
<p>Your soul print is unique.  God has created no one else like you, and he created no one else to serve the same purpose as you. Understanding your soul print helps you live your life as it was meant to be lived&#8230; to the fullest.</p>
<p>I highly recommend that you read Mark Batterson’s <em>Soul Print</em>.  You won’t regret it.</p>
