STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Radical

November 24, 2010

“Every now and then a book comes along that changes how you see the world and your place in it. For me, Radical is one of those rare books.

I think you’ll be surprised—maybe even shocked—by what you read. But David’s message is so simple and clear, so directly drawn from the words of Jesus that the minute you read it, you’ll know it’s true.”
