Radical is a Keith Green song that convicts the snot out of you. Radical is a John MacArthur sermon that tells you you have been in to see the King and you left changed. Each chapter digs a little deeper into your view of the American dream and dares to challenge it against the Lord Jesus Christ. David Platt is a true prophet for our modern day.
What I liked about this book: nothing. But not a "nothing" like you think I mean. I didn't like it because it did what the Word says God's truth will do. It divides out thoughts and our intentions and reveals them for what they are. I am not comparing this book with Scripture, but Mr. Platt teaches in this book straight from the biblical text, and when that is done the truth is unavoidable.
I am considering making this book a prerequisite for my church to read with me in the hopes that it will drive all of us to a deeper place with the Lord Jesus. David Platt has done Americans a great dis-service, but for the Kingdom of our God and Savior he has done what is necessary. Shown us our idols in America. We are to repent.
