“Radical Together” by David Platt
The Church in America has been seduced by the American dream and we have been unfaithful to the Gospel. We have turned inward and think only about our lives and our local churches and we forget about the calling God has given us. This book and its predecessor, Radical, are concerned with correcting this.
The one big flaw in both this book and the previous one is that, if taken at face value, they induce guilt in the reader. Not everyone can be a missionary to a far away place or start some type of “radical” apostolate here at home. Quite a few Christians are leading Christ centered lives and use their talents to fulfill a vocation close to home.
While it is not necessary to have read Radical before taking on Radical Together, it will be an immense help if you do. This book is a continuation of the topic found in Radical and makes much more sense when taken in the context of its’ predecessor. I highly recommend purchasing and reading both books back to back.
Taken together these books will benefit anyone involved in ministry or wanting to live a Christo-centric, Radical life.
