(Colorado Springs, Colo., Jan 2012) Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, the 2010 breakout debut book by pastor David Platt, has reached a major milestone with 1 million copies in print and continues to appear on best-seller lists: 81 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List (Paperback Advice & Misc.) and 20 months on the CBA Top 50 Best-Seller List, including 17 months in the top 10.
Called the youngest megachurch pastor in history when he took the senior pastor position at The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, AL, Platt says that weve allowed our cultural preferences to manipulate the gospel of Jesus Christ.

“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. David Platt takes a look at North American Christianity and shows how far weve gotten from real gospel living. Then he lays out what happens when Christians actually take Jesus at his word. I think youll be surprisedmaybe even shockedby what you read. But Davids message is so simple and clear, so directly drawn from the words of Jesus that the minute you read it, youll know its true.”
