Radical
David Platt

Multnomah Books (May 4, 2010)

Do you believe that Jesus is worth following, even when our culture—even our churches—turn the other way? In Radical, David Platt invites you to encounter what Jesus actually said about being his disciple. He challenges you to consider how we have manipulated a God-centered gospel to fit our mortal preferences. With passionate storytelling and convicting biblical analysis, Platt exposes a host of comfortable notions that are common among Christ’s followers today. Then he proposes a radical response: live the gospel in ways that are true, filled with promise, and ultimately world changing.
