Radical The Book

I received a preview copy of David Platt's book Radical a few weeks ago. I eagerly digested it, although at times the call to a radical life of discipleship hit me so hard that I wanted to put the book down. I had hoped to actually post something before it went on sale earlier in May but I just haven't had the chance.

Radical is an engaging, yet challenging look at the status of western Christianity, particularly in America. It served as a wake up call for me, a not-so-gentle reminder that the Christian life is not about doing things the easy way, rather it is about the call to pick up our cross and follow Jesus daily. A call that quite frankly most Christians, including myself, would rather not answer most days.

If the status quo of your relationship with God is leaving you wanting more then pick this book up to be reminded of the words of Bonhoeffer, "when Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die."
