Radical

Are you living the comfortable "American dream," but feel a deep, nagging sense that there's something more to your faith? This summary challenges you to trade complacency for a life of authentic, radical discipleship that truly follows the call of Jesus. You'll discover how the gospel frees you from the pursuit of material wealth and cultural comfort. Platt offers a compelling new perspective on what it means to live for Christ in a world of urgent need, providing practical steps to embrace a simpler, more sacrificial, and deeply fulfilling faith.

David Platt is the pastor of McLean Bible Church in Washington, D.C., and the bestselling author of several books, including the influential work, Radical. At just 26, he became the youngest pastor of a megachurch in American history, where he witnessed the stark contrast between American comfort and urgent global needs. This experience compelled him to challenge believers to abandon the American dream and embrace a radical, sacrificial life completely devoted to Jesus, a message that forms the core of his ministry and writing.
