You and I can choose to continue with business as usual in the Christian life and in the church as a whole, enjoying success based on the standards defined by the culture around us. Or we can take an honest look at the Jesus of the Bible and dare to ask what the consequences might be if we really believed him and really obeyed him.
If Jesus is who he said he is, and if his promises are as rewarding as the Bible claims they are, then we may discover that satisfaction in our lives and success in the church are not found in what our culture deems most important, but in radical abandonment to Jesus.
-David Platt in his book called Radical.
This book challenges you to think about your life in a deeper way. So many people who call themselves Christians are not walking the way Jesus has called them to walk. (Myself included.) This book takes a look at the heart of the people who live their life radically for God. People who live below their means, sell everything they have to follow God, give and devote their entire lives to glorify His name. Jesus said to his followers to pick up their cross and to follow Him, but how many of us actually do that? This book will challenge you in how you think and may change your life.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
