I received this book from Multnomah Publishing for my honest review. I was so impressed with this book. From the start, I was expecting a "Get up off your duff and do something for God" message, but I was so mistaken. The message of Radical is much more and much greater than that. It's not about missing out, it's about missing the point. We have so Americanized the gospel, it's not even recognizable biblically. The gospel of Christ isn't about repeating a simple prayer and getting your ticket to heaven. It's about salvation from the hell you and I deserve for all the words, deeds, and thoughts that violate God's standard. In light of the wrath and torture we've been saved from, our gratitude to a holy God leads us to live radically for him. Not spending a life filling our big houses with beautiful furniture and working hard saving up for a relaxing retirement, but living a sold-out life for the Jesus we love.
I was absolutely transformed by this little book. I strongly recommend it to every American.

Do I get to read it next?
Sure! I'll add it to the stack of stuff I owe you. :D
Thank you for this review. It's on my short list but I have wanted to hear more about it first.
It's on my To Read list. I'm working on a Voddie Baucham book right now (What He Must Be...)
