Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream

Author: David Platt
Publisher: Colorado Springs: Multnomah Books, 2010. 217 pages.
Category: Purpose, Church, Authority

Synopsis: American Christianity looks entirely different from biblical Christianity and the reason is due to the American Christian’s submission to American culture rather than a submission to Christ. David Platt, a young pastor who is deeply troubled by this reality, seeks to expose American Christians to their love of this way of life so that it may be properly abandoned for a Christ-designed, Christ-honoring, Christ-serving life. The difference is, well, Radical.

Value: This book is a healthy shock to the conscience of every Christian. It will force us to confront our motives, desires, and default ways of living. Men must wrestle with the authority of Christ and His claims if they are to make any sense of their existence on this earth. David Platt’s book will help you do this in a way that will prove helpful decades from now.
