Radical Together


“Radical Together” by David Platt is a well-written plea for the people of God to rise up and live out the purpose for which God has created us.  This book was written as a follow-up to Platt’s popular book, “Radical,” which I have not read, but this book clearly stands on its own, with just a few references to the previous work.  In a clear and simple manner, he cuts through the confusion that today’s churches have become and focuses our attention on the “one thing” that is most needed.  This is a book that should be read by people in every church and the study guide in the back is a great way for small groups to study it together, so they can apply the principles to their lives and their church.  The book itself is only 129 pages and it can be read rather quickly.  If only the way of living suggested in those pages could be applied quickly as well, the Church would dramatically increase its impact in the world.  I highly recommend this book to anyone who seeks to live as a follower of Jesus.
