Radical: Taking Back Your Faith From the American Dream Audiobook

" I absolutely LOVED this book! It says well what I've been struggling to communicate for years to those I pastor. Our vision of the normal Christian life is warped. I pray that by God's grace, Radical will become the new normal. Alice and I have already made plans to change our family's pattern based on the challenges Platt lays down. Can't wait to see how Jesus reveals His grace more full and free as we pursue making "radical" into "normal!" "

" Best book I read in 2010!! "

" I'm mostly raring this so highly for the incredible sermon series that birthed the book. It was so pivotal for me that it's hard to separate the book from the sermons. The sermons are much more thorough, so if this book interests you I would highly recommend listening to Platt's Radical series online. "

" Great BOok a must read!!! "

" This book has a strong Gospel message throughout. The best part of this book for me was all of the internal questions I started asking as I read through each chapter. I enjoyed (and struggled at times) with his stories and strong biblical message. I would recommend this book to anyone that is looking to deepen their relationship and commitments with Christ. "

" This book changed my life. Everyone should read it, spend time in it, learn from it. My husband and I used Radical as our study devotional for a month, delving into the chapters and discussing how we could apply the principles to our lives. Now we're excited about getting started! "

" WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE CHALLENGED IN YOUR FAITH AND THE WAY YOU VIEW MISSIONS AND REACHING THE WORLD. "

" This is an inspiring read that does well to challenge the comfortable, complacent Christians we have become in America today. I love Platt's heart and his insights on scripture. "

" This was such a good read. It convicted me where I was not as fervent as I needed to be in my Christian faith. "

" We did this with the high school senior class at Sunday school. It was provocative but after the first few chapters felt like the same content repeated. "

" While Platt had lots of good stuff to say, I imagine that the only folks to find these ideas to be "radical" would be those in a Southern, white, mega-church. For those in urban or multi-cultural contexts, a book like this might be titled *Normal.* "

" Excellent, thought-provoking with the potential to be life-changing. "

" Love, Love, Love this book! One of the best eye opening books I have read! God is good! "

" A lot to think about, a lot to do. What if??? "

" Everyone needs this book and then needs to read it then just do it. Sound easy?? It's not it makes you look dee in your life belief and priorities I recommend taking the class also "

" Fantastic book. Every professing Christians should read this challenging and convicting book. "

" It's awesome and I hope I have enough courage to follow through. "

" Great perspective! Taking a good look at how others are dealing with daily and life/death struggles. How we can make an impact in their lives, well being and faith journey...their faith and our own. "

" Excellent book. A must read for every Christian. Challenges our views on what is church among other things. "

" Most definitely a moving book. I would recommend being ready to be moved when reading this book or your mindset will interfere with its message. The conviction is there, and it's a difficult read when you've felt established in your habits...but good nonetheless. "

" Good appeal to consider the Gospel as an alternative to the consumerist and self-centered view that is the American Dream. I don't agree with all the theological points he makes, but I've read worse. "

" Please take time to read this book! It was so convicting to me and I hope I can become a more radical Christian because of it! "

" Excellent book, but wouldn't take everything literally. "

" Love, Love, Love this book! One of the best eye opening books I have read! God is good! "

" I appreciate what he's trying to do, but his fundamentalism taints everything. "

" i'm going to give this five stars b.c. i would recommend it as a read worth considering....However i'm not sure how i feel about all that it teaches. I think it will take sometime to work out "

" caused me to think and do in important ways "

" This is a toughie. I was reading 'The Poisonwood Bible' at the same time. Radical says 'go and preach the gospel', Poisonwood says 'the missionaries bring their religion and their diseases'. Weird pairing - my head is still spinning. "

" Extremely thought provoking! Very convicting too...but in a good way! "
