One of the best-selling Christian books in the past year is Radical by David Platt. The book addresses issues that are vital for every Christian to wrestle with. The author challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple–then invites you to believe and obey what Jesus has said rather than our culture. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a “successful” suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus.”
I am forming a Men's Book Club. We are staring with Radical. We'll read it then get together about a month later to give our impressions of the book and talk about how we can apply what we learned to our lives as we seek to become better disciples of Jesus Christ.
Great leaders throughout the ages have been known for the discipline of reading. Oswald Sanders, in his book Spiritual Leadership wrote, “The man who desires to grow spiritually and intellectually will be constantly at his books.” Another great leader said, “The greatest difference between you today and five years from now are the people you meet, the places you go and the books you read.”
My hope is our book club will help you grow as a Christian man and transform your life! Let me know if you are interested in join us.
