RADICAL TOGETHER


In this sequel to his book, "RADICAL," David Platt writes a fitting Part Two. You don't have to read "RADICAL" to get this one, but it helps in order to get Platt's full passion for people and for the lost and for not doing things 'status quo.'


"RADICAL TOGETHER" is a call to help the hurting and live a life that is outward-focused. It is a call to get up off your couch and do something. It is a call to have a grace-filled heart to those who are improbable in the ministry of the Kingdom. It is a call to recognize we're not living or working for the present world. It is a call to remember it's never about us.


All one needs to do to be prompted to rush right out and get the book is to simply review the big idea in each of the packed six chapters:


- One of the worst enemies of Christians can be good things in the church.

- The Gospel that saves us from work saves us to work.

- The Word does the work.

- Building the right church depends on using all the wrong people.

- We are living - and longing - for the end of the world.

- We are selfless followers of a self-centered God.


The icing on the cake is that Platt gives us six small group studies based on each chapter at the back of the book.


Hats off to another awesome offering by David Platt. In his own words: "So let's live radical together in eager anticipation of the day when we will see his face and, as a community encompassing every nation, tribe, tongue, and people, enjoy his beauty for all of eternity."
