Radical

Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream

By: David Platt

Narrated by: David Platt

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.

Wow

A must read for Christians and non Christians alike. Very direct and challenging. This book has made me reconsider if I was even a true Christian and helped me confirm that I do want to be a better Christian. It clearly lays out what God demands of his true disciples and what the cost is for following Christ. Can't recommend this enough.

A Must-Read for Every American Christian

Definitely one of the best, biblical, soul-searching books I've read in a long time. This one is highly recommended for all Christians in the United States. David Platt helps you to see beyond the things that have become a regular part of your life (including your "church life"), and challenges you to take that "radical" step to living the life in Christ you were chosen for. I think that it's even better that David himself does the narration for his book. I'm definitely reading this one again!

Beware it should change your life

I pray this changes your life radically like it has mine. It also is great that David Platt reads this

Every TRUE Christian needs to receive message!

The RAW biblical truth that most "Christians" fail to grasp! Not for fake Christians. GO!

a changed life

this store, is hard to hear. but you can not put it down....I just loved reading it...I felt closer to God, and his intended purpose...

Excellent read for every Christian.

Challenging and thought provoking. David Platt has great insight and uses piercing arguments to reveal the issues with the Americanized version of Christianity.

You may or may not agree with his arguments but it is worth considering.

Great motivation to act like Jesus in our daily

loved it, I good call to action to follow Jesus and have a heart like him

Life changing!

After the Bible, this is by far the most demanding and challenging book i have ever read! Life changing!

Convicting and Inspiring

This book, above all else, inspires self examination. even if you don't agree with him on everything, His main point still stands...Christ calls us to extraordinary service, and letting our culture distort our view of Him is not a good thing. Great book with a solid message.

Time to get real with your faith..No fakes here !

If you have a hot passion for following Christ this is the book to listen to. Get ready to check yourself ! Its a painful look in the mirror for this man. As I do not see the image of Christ looking back at me . However with the truths of the scripture being explained in a very easy to understand way as this Author has done I can take my first step on that narrow path. Thank you to this Author I was sinking and you just threw me a lifesaver! Its so refreshing to listen to the truth of his word being explained in an easy to follow fashion. Thank you for not allowing political correctness of this me , me , its all about me world and for not making God an ATM wish granter in the sky in your book.
