Summary

It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...BUT WHO DO YOU KNOW WHO LIVES LIKE THAT? DO YOU?

In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment: a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

This is radical indeed

I mean, wooow!! I need to read it one more time! 👏🏻 You need to read it too, and most importantly, we need to do something about it 💪🏻 with God's grace, this book is something else, a rude and clear challenge

Overseas Ministry!

I think that I’ve missed the point of this book! I was expecting a next step to Christianity. I’m not in the USA, I’m in the UK, but I’m thinking that my privilege is not far from the privilege of those chasing the American Dream.

So I was expecting a narrative on how to deny ourselves, taking up Jesus’ cross (or our cross) and followHim. Jesus told us in Matthew 28, to start at home, in our areas, then gradually expand ourselves to share the Gospel throughout the world.

Well, no. The bulk of this book is external ministry. Outreach. Overseas, making disciples. Only occasionally mentioning Secret Church and a couple of Small Groups, but not with any “How to” leadings! Every story ends with the couples and solos meeting in these meetings, are subsequently sending people abroad!

Perhaps I’m missing the point. Perhaps my faith isn’t big enough, deep enough or strong enough, perhaps I just want a jump-start to turn away from me and turn to Jesus. I want to actually start at home and communicate the gospel, but this book didn’t do that (for me). Perhaps I will go overseas but, Europe is a big mission field.

Unfortunately, this book didn’t connect with me.
