And, how can we best unleash the people of God in the church to carry out the purpose of God in the world? Writing to everyone who desires to make an impact for God’s glory—whether you are an involved member, a leader, or a pastor—Dr. Platt shares six foundational ideas that fuel radical obedience among Christians in the church. With compelling Bible teaching and inspiring stories from around the world, he will help you apply the revolutionary claims and commands of Christ to your community of faith in fresh, practical ways.

"Convicting follow-up to Radical. Very practical insight throughout with a valuable group study guide included at the end. This book has really got me thinking as I currently attend one of the video-pastor, program heavy, "entertaining" churches constructively criticized in this book. Lots to process and re-read. I know the author personally and deeply respect him as well as his genuine passion for global discipleship. This book is filled with wonderful insight and Godly direction. Check it out!"

" Great book. I like the practical applications at the end "
— Brian, 2/14/2014" A fantastic and fitting follow-up to his earlier book, "Radical." While the original book focused on our individual mandate to reclaim our faith from the siren song of the American Dream, "Radical Together" enjoins the church in the challenge. Here Platt encourages the children of God, through the power of God, with the Word of God, to reach the world for God. A quick and fluid read, Platt has developed a conversational style of writing while sacrificing or pulling no punch. "
— Jonathan, 2/1/2014" Just as great if not better than Radical. A loud wake up call. "
— Catherine, 1/31/2014" David Platt is always refreshing to me, even when he makes me uncomfy. "
— Brittany, 1/31/2014" From the author of Radical, David Platt undertakes a project of epic proportions. How a church family can be radical together and work to change the world one life at a time. "
— Lisa, 1/19/2014" This is the kind of faith i want to walk out ... "
— Moyra, 12/12/2013" I think it functioned well as a sequel to his original, "Radical"', which I also thought was a good book. "
— Larry, 11/9/2013" So my 2nd favorite book ever has been supplanted by the combination of Radical and the"sequel". I finished this one in one sitting...it really is riveting and makes one think about their life and what they are doing with it from a Biblical standpoint. "
— Jonathan, 11/8/2013" A nice follow-up to Radical, in which Platt further seeks to engage that culture of the church-growth movement with the widespread implications of taking the Gospel seriously. "
— Ruth, 10/28/2013" Incredible thoughts on scripture and calling. Some ideas felt difficult to follow without having read his first book, which he references often. "
— Mara, 10/10/2013" Convicting, but spot on! "
— Linda, 5/17/2012" A provoking challenge to think and be radical for the Kingdom of God. Amazing accounts of how individuals have made radical life changes to make a difference in the world. "
— Huggiworld, 5/16/2012" "Inspiring" and convicting, but at the same time there are some serious theological flaws and generalities presented in this book. Read with caution. "
— Ben, 2/2/2012" This was a great addition to the first book, with an expansion and re-articulated focus of living the radical christian life together. "
