Qué valor tiene Jesús para ti? Es fácil para los cristianos olvidar cómo Jesús dijo que sus seguidores vivirían realmente, cómo sería su nuevo estilo de vida. Dijo que dejarían atrás la seguridad, el dinero, la comodidad e incluso la familia por él. Dejarían todo por el evangelio. Tomarían sus cruces diariamente...
Pero, a quién conoces que viva así? Lo haces tú?En Radical, David Platt te desafía a considerar con el corazón abierto cómo hemos manipulado el evangelio para adaptarlo a nuestras preferencias culturales. Muestra lo que Jesús dijo realmente sobre ser su discípulo, y le invita a creer y obedecer lo que ha oído. Y cuenta la dramática historia de lo que está sucediendo cuando una "exitosa" iglesia suburbana decide tomarse en serio el evangelio según Jesús. Finalmente, le insta a unirse a El Experimento Radical - un viaje de un año en el discipulado auténtico que transformará su forma de vivir en un mundo que necesita desesperadamente la Buena Nueva que Jesús vino a traer.
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.
