Radical...again


(I get books for free from agreeing to review them on my wonderful blog from Multnomah’s Blogging For Books.)  I chose to get David’s Platt’s The Radical Question & A Radical Idea because my husband and I have read Radical and Radical Together and really enjoyed them.   They challenged us, made us think, and cause us to evaluate the way we live our lives as followers of Christ and the way we do church.  I thought I would be a good addition to get the new one in the series.  Well, this is not new.  The Radical Question takes material from Radical, The Radical Idea from Radical Together and puts them into a cute little hardback book.  So the material is great; but I have already read it all.  If you want a quick Radical refresher in a nice format, this is a great book for you.  If you want to get someone interested in the concepts but they aren’t big readers then this would be a great gift.  If you want to read something new, then skip this one.  Though I don’t blame Platt for doing this because I listened to one of his sermons today and he shared that all the proceeds from the Radical series goes to spreading the gospel and helping the poor around the world; so go buy a stack of them!
