Radical Together is the forthcoming book from David Platt, author of Radical. I gave that book rave reviews, largely in part because Platt speaks to the heart of the matter and tries to pull people back towards a more biblical expression of our faith.
This book follows where Radical left off and asks questions of church leadership that should make us uncomfortable. Platt is himself working through the biblical mandates and how living in submission and obedience to God should affect him, his church, and the world.
Although the book is significantly shorter than its predecessor (I read it in two days), it is just as powerful. Chapter three calls us to a reliance on the Bible and not fancy and entertaining presentations. Chapter four calls us to put ministry into the hands of every believer and not just professionals who do it for them. Chapter six calls us to be so amazingly God exalting that I am challenged and seriously shaken.
What Platt has written here is the description of what we should be as the church. I pray (and really mean "pray") that this would only be the beginning.
