New York Times bestseller
What is Jesus worth to you?
It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...
But who do you know who lives like that? Do you?
In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus.
Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
Customer Reviews
Paradigm shift
If you truly want to know God's will for your life and your purpose, this book is for you. David strips away the Christian way of thinking we have had and replaces it with a Holy Spirit inspired, biblical, truths. If you are happy with your Christian life and do not want to change it then do not rad the book for if you do you will be held accountable. If you are tired of the same old, same old, then I challenge you to read this and I guarantee you will the same old, same old will never be the same.
