I read Radical by David Platt soon after it was published in 2010. It is definitely a radical book calling all believers to exercise a radical commitment to Christ and His kingdom. It is a wake-up call to us all, calling us out of the apathy of the ordinary and into the excitement of radical discipleship.
Just today I learned that David Platt has been elected to the position of President of the SBC International Mission Board. This is exciting news and portends great things for the future of the IMB.
