Book Review: Radical Together

I admit up front that I am a huge admirer of David Platt and his love for the Word of God and his love for the Church and for Evangelism and living out the Christian faith. His book  Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Church was convicting and eye opening and life changing.

Radical Together: Unleashing the People of God for the Purpose of God follows up with a look at how to live the "radical" life out as a church. Radical looked at the individual Christian life, Radical Together looks at how a church living out as radical individuals will function.

Just like his previous book, Platt tells personal stories about what this looks like. It is biblically based and once again, convicting and encouraging to live differently as a body of believers.

My only quip is that the book is too short. I could have read several more chapters or at least deeper chapters from Platt, not because the chapters were shallow or lacking, but because they were so good I wanted more. This is a book my church members need to read together and dream about what we could do when we live radically together.

Platt is spot on once again and I look forward to what he has to write in the future! Definitely worth reading and passing along.

I received this book from Waterbrook Multnomah as a review copy. I was not required or persuaded to write a positive review of this book, but have done so of my personal choice.
