David Platt Livres

"In these pages, Platt shares how he found a deeper, fuller hope on the other side of foundation-shaking questions like, 'Is Jesus really the hope of the world after all?' Platt realized that soul-piercing questions don't just demand answers. They require action. And that action, as we change our lives to resemble the way of Jesus, brings hope, light, and life to the world. This is your call to risk more, to let what breaks God's heart break yours, and to take action where God has placed you."--Dust jacket flap

Do you?In Radical , David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences.
