Radical
Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream
by David Platt
Summary
Christians should live lives that look different than their surrounding culture because we follow Jesus, who certainly stood out from His. Platt argues that we should focus on five areas of our lives:
Pray for the world
Read the entire Bible
Spend time in a new context
Sacrifice money for a specific purpose
Make disciple-makers

“We were settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to ourselves when the central message of Christianity is actually about abandoning ourselves.”
“It requires strong and steady resolve to live out the gospel in the middle of an American dream that identifies success as moving up the ladder, getting the bigger house, purchasing the nicer car, buying the better clothes, eating the finer food, and acquiring more things.”
