Description Set out toward a radical church, starting now! Radical Together is written for every layperson, church leader, and pastor who longs to add even a small measure of strength toward revealing the glory of the Lord. In this book, David Platt presents six key ideas needed to lead each and every believer into wholehearted obedience to God's Word. Drawing on powerful biblical teaching and moving stories from around the world, he helps faith communities apply Christ's revolutionary claims and commands in vivid, practical ways. Radical Together was written by an author who realized that no matter how radical one's personal faith may be, its impact remains limited when pursued alone — but when members of a body of believers unite together, committed to fulfilling the Lord's will as a church, that influence becomes unstoppable. If Radical was a faith manual for the individual Christian, Radical Together can be called a faith manual for the community. About the Author Author of the New York Times bestseller Radical.
