The New Year's Resolution rush is over, football season is over?, Valentine's Day has come and gone... Now is a great time to reassess where your year is headed. And so, while it may seem late, I suspect for some this post will be right on time...
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. [Romans 15:13]

ABOUT THE BOOK
I
n Radical, David Platt invites you to encounter what Jesus actually said about being his disciple, and then obey what you have heard. He challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated a God-centered gospel to fit our human-centered preferences. With passionate storytelling and convicting biblical analysis, Platt calls into question a host of comfortable notions that are common among Christ's followers today. Then he proposes a radical response: live the gospel in ways that are true, filled with promise, and ultimately world changing. BULLETIN BOARD
