"Radical, by David Pratt, you will be challenged to see Christ'

In Radical, by David Pratt, you will be challenged to see Christ from a perspective that you may have not considered in the past.
Each of the opening chapters of RADICAL begin with a powerful story out of Platt's experiences among populations under severe persecution. He reflects on the contrast between their hunger for God's word and the typical person sitting and soaking in the pews of American churches.

This is an inspiring and excellent book. Platt's thoughtful emphasis on the "basics" of Christianity is truly radical, as true Biblical christianity has always been radical. His analysis of the American dream and how it conflicts on multiple levels with following Christ is likewise insightful and penetrating

Platt recommends five personal resolutions for radical life reformation:
1. Pray for the entire world
2. Read through the entire Word
3. Give my money sacrificially
4. Go on a mission trip
5. Commit to my local church
 Highly recommended Radical is a quick read, but not necessarily an easy one. If your heart is at all open to God, you will be challenged and inspired to action. I highly recommend it. This is a five star book.
