Radical by Birmingham pastor David Platt is a volume that, from beginning to end, calls the reader to accountability. Not mincing words, Platt challenges readers to examine their motivation for involvement in missions. His premise is that everyone is called to declare God’s glory and Jesus’ salvation, and that no one is exempt from that call.

Platt sets forth his commitment to missions and all that means for him personally and for the church he serves. The illustrations and experiences he cites demonstrate his strong commitment to sacrificial giving and going. This volume is not for the faint of heart! Readers will be motivated to recommit their lives to the cause of Christ and to the Great Commission. Whether one’s call is lived out next door, in one’s home state or in another part of the world, the commitment must be radical. When lives are lived radically, the results will be radical – and the whole world will learn about the love of God presented in His Son Jesus.

The full title of the book is Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream and can be ordered through Amazon in paperback. Beware! This volume will change your outlook and attitude about missions!
