The book’s subtitle states: “taking back your faith in the American Dream.” How often do we get caught up in our lives and forget about the last time we invested in proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Unfortunately what we think of the gospel message at times becomes an American version of the gospel itself. Platt challenges us to go back to the basics of what God desires from us in a simple command, GO.

Radical provides tangible ways for us to refocus our mindset towards evangelism and live the Gospel in Truth. As the book concludes, there is a great summary of what Platt explains throughout the book: “Real success is found in radical sacrifice. Ultimate satisfaction is found not in making much of ourselves but in making much of God. The purpose of our lives transcends the country and culture in which we live. Meaning is found in community, not individualism; joy is found in generosity, not materialism; and truth is found in Christ, not universalism.

 

Ultimately, Jesus is a reward worth risking everything to know, experience, and enjoy.” The book finishes with providing a one year plan of action for us all to consider how we can change this current American Dream mindset and instead bring back the true faith found in Jesus Christ alone.
