I have just finished reading this book last night. I encourage you to take the time out of your day to find this book and buy it, rent it, whatever, and read this one. You can click on the book and find a link for purchase.
David Platt is a pastor of a church in Alabama. He started wondering where his pastoring of the thousands was headed as he recalled the model for his teaching them came from a man who spent time with 12 men and less than 200 radical followers. How would he meld the two together? How can he speak to the masses as if he were only speaking to a few?
How do we understand believing in Christ and living the American Dream when the two don't mesh? This book details through scripture what it is that God has already spoken to us about the way we live today.
This is a great read and a wonderful concept in being radical in your thinking as one of Christ's disciples. It'll take you down a path of introspection so be careful! As a friend of mine said, "Oh, I read that book and threw it across the room a couple of times! I hated it!" Not really hated the book, but what it uncovered about herself that she felt needed change in her life.

A great book to study as a group or just you. Lots of resources to continue after the book is done in a life lived radically!
Enjoy! God bless!
