Book Review - Radical

Radical by David Platt is one of those rare books that doesn’t just rant about what we as Christians are called to do. It challenges the very way we think about what it means to be a follower of Christ, a true disciple if you will, in modern day America. Have we co-opted the teachings of Christ to fit in our safe, protected, well-financed, non-biblical way of life, i.e. the American dream?

Quite a few books come across my desk each month, it is the rare gem that changes the way I look upon my life and convicts me to make changes. Radical is one of them.
Radical by David Platt (Chapter 1)
I highly recommend this book to anyone who calls themselves a Christian, and even more so to those Christians who seek to live as true disciples of Christ.

Since reading this book I have decided to purchase several copies and give them to other pastors in my area and to family members.

Book Review "Desiring God" by John Piper

In “Desiring God” Piper shows us that as Christians it isn’t just ‘ok’ to be happy, it is our duty. That to seek pleasure in God actually glorifies Him. Piper uses plenty of scriptures to support his claims, and not all of them are taken out of context.


If you are looking for a book that explains why you should be happy and full of joy as a Christian, then this is for you. If you already know that you are supposed to desire God, then you will want to find something with more depth.

All in all, not a bad read, good for the new Christian, but I won’t be reading it a second time nor will I be putting it in my top 100.
