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?

Story
Many seek reassurance or perceived unity by creating doctrinal statements, but that misses the point. Doctrine is necessary, but it is not the solution. In his new book Until Unity, New York Times best-selling author Francis Chan tells listeners that the real problem is shallow or even nonexistent love for each other. Although the Bible commands unity, some will resist these unifying efforts. We see it every day. We have to hate sin, love truth, and pursue unity for the church.

Story
In the first devotional from David Platt, Follow Him equips and empowers you to bring people to know Jesus Christ through your life. To be a disciple of Jesus is to make disciples of Jesus. This has been true since the first century, when Jesus invited four men to follow him. More than searching for fish all over the Sea of Galilee, these men would spread the gospel all over the world. They would give their lives by not simply being disciples of Jesus, but by sacrificially making disciples of Jesus. And God’s design for 21st-century disciples is the same.

All Christian disciples have one thing in common: As they carry the Gospel across the ocean and across the street, persecution will become the norm for those who choose to follow Jesus. How believers respond in the face of persecution reveals everything about their level of faith and obedience. The Insanity of Obedience is a bold challenge to global discipleship. Nik Ripken exposes the danger of safe Christianity and calls listeners to something greater.

But God is waking up his people - people who will risk everything and sacrifice anything to become the dynamic, powerful church seen in Scripture. We Are Church calls Christ-followers, young and old, to hold fast to their biblical roots while seeking radical change. Scripture promises an exuberant and unstoppable church. That wondrous early church of acts can be our reality today.

The God of the universe - the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do's and don'ts - it's falling in love with God.

Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

Story
Too few people attending church today, even those in evangelical churches, are exposed to the gospel explicitly. Sure, many will hear about Jesus, and about being good and avoiding bad, but the gospel message simply isn't there--at least not in its specificity and its fullness. Inspired by the needs of both the overchurched and the unchurched, and bolstered by the common neglect of the explicit gospel within Christianity, Matt Chandler has written this punchy treatise.

As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In the first major biography of Bonhoeffer in 40 years, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life - the theologian and the spy - to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

Publisher's Summary
USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and ECPA Best Seller
The author of Radical takes listeners on a soul-searching journey through impoverished villages in the Himalayan mountains, daring them to make a difference in a world of urgent need, starting right where they live.
“Grippingly vulnerable and unforgettable. I could not put this book down.” (Ann Voskamp, author of One Thousand Gifts)
While leading a team on a week-long trek of the Himalayas, best-selling author and pastor David Platt was stunned by the human needs he encountered, an experience so dramatic that it "changed the trajectory of my life". Meeting a man who'd lost his eye from a simple infection and seeing the faces of girls stolen from their families and trafficked in the cities, along with other unforgettable encounters, opened his eyes to the people behind the statistics and compelled him to wrestle with his assumptions about faith. In Something Needs to Change, Platt invites listeners to come along on both the adventure of the trek, as well as the adventure of seeking answers to tough questions like, "Where is God in the middle of suffering?" "What makes my religion any better than someone else's religion?" and "What do I believe about eternal suffering?" Platt has crafted an irresistible message about what it means to give your life for the gospel - to finally stop talking about faith and truly start living it.
Praise for Something Needs to Change
“Rugged. Authentic. Gritty. Real. Worshipful. There are no other books like this one. I always pick up David’s books with a sense of excitement and, quite honestly, apprehension - because I know that areas of compromise and complacency in my life are going to be exposed. But this book exceeded even my high expectations, for which I am grateful. And so will you be. As David writes, it’s time to run, not walk. Let’s go.” (J. D. Greear, president of the Southern Baptist Convention)
“Extraordinary and challenging. I’ve just never read a book like this before. I am so moved. Bring your full heart to this story and watch how God opens your eyes, changes your mind, and broadens the dreams you have for your life.” (Annie F. Downs, best-selling author of 100 Days to Brave and Remember God)
“If you dare to read this book, you might just have an unexpected encounter with Jesus that leaves you weeping on the floor, as David’s experience did. Something changes within us when the seemingly overwhelming needs of the world present themselves simply in the life of a single person. Ultimately, I pray your compassion will be transformed to action.” (Santiago “Jimmy” Mellado, president and CEO of Compassion International)

Great content but distracting performance
Great story with lots of vivid imagery. It felt like I was with him on the trails, seeing and hearing and witnessing all the struggles of the people there. An excellent call to action at the end.
The author’s performance was a little distracting at times. He clearly cares deeply about physical and spiritual suffering in the world but unfortunately, that manifested itself in a voice that was almost crying for long periods of time. I found it helpful to speed up the audio during those parts.

David Platt raw
I've seen some complaining that he was too emotional while reading this. Honestly if there's no emotion telling this story there's a problem. Maybe those that find him annoying while reading this should pack up and go serve some of those people in the Himalayas. Great book. Well worth the listen. Well worth the challenge.

Compelling story ‘interesting’ narration
I enjoyed David’s ability to transport his audience to the other side of the world and journey alongside him and his buddies through the Himalayas. There’s some good questions asked and insights provided from the journey and most importantly those he encountered. I would say the only thing that put me off is whenever there was an ‘emotional’ part of the book the authors voice would go all whiney and I found it very difficult to listen to - personally I think the beauty of a book is it allows you to decide how you feel about certain situations but instead of being somewhat neutral it felt incredibly forced and put me off to the story.

First Platt book? You will love this...
Ultimately this book contains very little new information for those who read all of David Platt works. Even the stories are from five years ago, and many of the story do appear in other books.
for those who haven't read much of David Platt, it will be a compelling read. I listened to this book but I would actually recommend reading it versus listening.
ultimately it has provoked me to think about things, and that is always good to reevaluate your life... somebody who has read pretty much every David Platt book, and have been led through his teachings along with many others served in world missions and dedicate more of my resources towards world missions.
so I think this book would be good for those that are just coming awake to the problems in the West, and I'm thinking of using this book for a teen Bible study.

Fake crying is like nails on a chalkboard
This book is not groundbreaking. I agree with the theology but it was presented in the same old cliches. The worst part was the author’s fake cry voice. It was utterly cringey.

Humbling, heartwrenching and soul shifting
If this book doesn't move or change you, something's wrong. I found myself crying one minute, smiling the next, and reflecting/searching for my own life thereafter. An emotional rollercoaster that leaves you breathless at the bottom of the mountain. Thank you David for taking this journey and sharing it with all of us.
