Best Seller : "Radical"

[Alan Satorius]

I've just finished reading this book, 'Radical' by David Platt, a pastor in Birmingham Alabama. It is the most disturbing, but true commentary of how the 'American Dream' has permeated our lives and churches . It's not that it's a bad thing, but many of the implications are in stark contrast to Jesus' words. It is definitely a wake up call for all of us to consider Jesus' radical words, and what that means to us personally and our current culture. I challenge everyone who is in the faith, to read it - it is extremely powerful and worth your time.

I'm reading this book 'Radical' right now. And you're right Alan, its a "disturbing", but a "true commentary of how the "American Dream" has permeated OUR lives and churches"! And, I believe, more than WE know! We're reading and studying, and I'm preaching right now, through "The Gospel of Mark", and you are so right - "the implications (of this book) are in stark contrast to Jesus' words". Which means WE must live in stark contrast to the American culture in which we live! I too would encourage all of you to get this book, and to read it too!

I read it, enjoyed it's frankness and I'm challenged by his call to be a Radical Christ-follower.
