Radical

by David Platt

Platt's challenge to American Christians: the gospel calls for sacrifice, not comfort, and the church has made a god of the American dream. Blunt, convicting and ending with a one-year experiment of prayer, Scripture, giving, going and community.

Skip it if…

you want reassurance; this is a rebuke.

Try instead: When I Don't Desire God →

Three things you will actually use

  1. Comfort is not the goal.
  2. Give sacrificially, not conveniently.
  3. The gospel sends.

Do this first

Take the Radical Experiment's giving step for one month.

Our verdict

Blunt and convicting.
