Overview

Take the next step. From radical followers of Christ to radical communities of faith. In Radical, David Platt's plea for Christians to take back their faith from the American Dream resonated with readers everywhere, and the book quickly became a New York Times bestseller. Now in Radical Together, the author broadens his call, challenging us to unite around a gospel-centered vision. How, he asks, might such a vision reshape our priorities as the body of Christ? How might well-intentioned Christians actually prevent God's people from accomplishing God's purpose? And, how can we best unleash the people of God in the church to carry out the purpose of God in the world? Writing to everyone who desires to make an impact for God's glory--whether you are an involved member, a leader, or a pastor--Dr. Platt shares six foundational ideas that fuel radical obedience among Christians in the church. With compelling Bible teaching and inspiring stories from around the world, he will help you apply the revolutionary claims and commands of Christ to your community of faith in fresh, practical ways. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Response to Radical and Radical Together<br> <br> I love this book! Please read it. God is using David Platt to lead his church into much-needed reform. Radical Together is filled with tremendous insight from a man who loves Christ's church. I don't know of a church leader that I trust more. <br> --FRANCIS CHAN, best-selling author of Crazy Love<br> <br> I have the privilege of knowing David Platt, and I assure you that his life and ministry commend what he has written here. Read Radical Together. Like the right medicine, it may be more helpful than comfortable. In fact, my prayer is that it may be an explosion, shifting many churches from centering wrongly on ourselves to centering rightly on Christ and his agenda for us--and for his world. <br> --MARK DEVER, senior pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC<br> <br> Radical caused many Christians to be shaken and to reevaluate their lives. Radical Together will do the same for our churches. Radical Together is such a clarion call for churches across the world to follow the clear teachings of the Word that I began to pray that this book would indeed move thousands of churches to become biblically radical. Many churches and Christians will never be the same again after reading the book and following its biblical precepts. <br> --THOM S. RAINER, president and CEO, LifeWay Christian Resources, and coauthor of The Millennials and Simple Church<br> <br> Platt's arguments...emerge at a post-excess moment, when attitudes toward material life are up for grabs. His book has struck a chord. <br> --DAVID BROOKS, The New York Times<br> <br> Full of spiritual pronouncements readers of any religion can appreciate... Radical caters mostly to Christians, as a fervent manual to the faithful. If you're stuck in the American dream of 'self-advancement, self-esteem, and self-sufficiency, ' as Platt describes it, then the book could be a good fit for you, too. <br> --SPENCER BAILEY, TheDailyBeast.com<br> <br> What
