Radical--Review and Book Giveaway


Water Brook Multnomah Publishing Group provided me with a copy of Radical by David Platt for review and also a copy to give away. I am so glad they did!

This is a great book that I truly believe that every Christian should read. Platt covered many issues I have been dealing with lately. He raises the same questions that I have raised for myself and my church. He does a good job of basing his beliefs with scripture and challenging the reader to make changes in his/her life. I truly believe that he makes a valid point--we should like how Christ called His disciples to live. I was convicted that I have adopted too many of the worldly conveniences of the American Dream and created my own Christianity.

I plan on participating in The Radical Experiment. My prayer is Chad will also read this book and we will embark on the Experiment as a family.

You can read the first chapter by going here. You can also request a free copy of The Radical Question by going here. The Radical Question is a great "summary" of the book, Radical. I recommend it for those who think they don't have time to read the whole book or for those who just don't like to read. It also would make a great tract to pass out to others. My hope is after reading The Radical Question, you will feel compelled to read the full book and possibly do a study on it. You can purchase the book at Water Brook Multnomah Publishing Group.

  1. Hey Darcy- I'd love to read this one. Have you heard of the book 'Crazy Love', by Francis Chan (I might have the author wrong.) It's VERY good too!

  2. This giveaway is probably not open to Canada, so this is not an entry unless it is haha :) I just read what Lauren, the above commenter said, and I agree, Crazy Love is SUCH a great book...it reminds me to not be a lukewarm Christian.
