"Ich weiß, dass es einen Gott gibt, der alles in der Hand hält. Aber warum bin ich dann so gesegnet und so viele andere nicht?" Diese Frage lässt David Platt nicht mehr los, als er mit einer kleinen Gruppe von Männern durch bitterarme Himalaja-Dörfer wandert. Die Schicksale der Menschen, denen er dort begegnet, ihre Not, Verlorenheit und Hoffnungslosigkeit – all das rührt Platt so tief an, dass er spü So kann es in unserer Welt nicht weitergehen. Etwas muss sich ändern! Doch was kann er – als Einzelner – tun? Welche Antworten der Pastor und Bestsellerautor auf seiner Reise gefunden hat, erzählt er in diesem Buch.

Viele Christen folgen Jesus nur aus sicherer Distanz und möchten seine Jünger sein, solange es ihren Lebensstil nicht beeinflusst. Die Frage bleibt: Was passiert, wenn wir Jesus wirklich fragen, wer er ist?

"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

What is Jesus worth to you?It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...But who do you know who lives like that? 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. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. 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.Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment--a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
