Radical

Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream

By: David Platt

Narrated by: David Platt

Length: 6 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's summary

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.

A life changing msg frm an extraordinary source!

God truly brought a message through you! thx Dr. Platt Definitely a must read 4 every Christ follower! I pray for more msgs like this.

worth your time

Well worth listening to. Truths from the word of God we often would like to look over. By God's grace may we not look over the life Christ calls us to and the blessings that we are given in it.

A reminder

I came to reading this book later than most. I don't think I was ready for it until now.

This book is about looking at your American dream, stepping back, and realizing who do you serve God or material goods. What are you willing to give up?

Our purpose, according to David Platt (via the word of God), is to bring the word to the whole world.

I agree.

I cannot put into words how this book has affected me. It is making me re-evaluate every aspect of my life and to reorient what is the most important things in my life.

I highly recommend this book-- to contemplate, ponder and then to take action.

I'm not telling you what I'm doing, but I challenge you to read this book if you're a Christian And you've come to a point of "what do I do?" This may help or it may convict.

Read it

Every Christian Must READ!

This book was a HUGE eye opener! Convicted my spirit and is motivating me to make changes in my life to further the gospel of Jesus Christ. I would suggest every believer/follower of Christ to read this book. I would suggest churches to study and use this book to equip and disciple their congregations! This is a Life Changer!

A must read for all Christians

Exactly what the church needs! Today more than when it was first written! A challenge to live as the Christ of the Bible and not the Christ of America!

Must read!

I recommend this book to those who hunger and thirst for God’s kingdom, for those that currently have an appetite for this world, and for those that are seeking a purpose. It will challenge you to your core and provide you a fresh way to look at our American lifestyle.

Highly convicting and powerful

It makes you think. You feel called out. Don’t listen and squirm—take it like a man (or woman) and truly reflect on how you’re going beyond yourself to serve God.

Spirit Filled! Powerful and convicting

The American church needs this book. We need great leaders like David Platt to teach us to get uncomfortable and to be obedient to the great commission. Until ever tongue confessed that Jesus is the Lord!
