Books like Radical by David Platt


In Radical, David Platt invites readers to confront the ways the gospel has been reshaped to suit cultural preferences and to rediscover what Jesus truly said about discipleship: abandoning security, money, convenience and even family to follow Him. Drawing on the dramatic story of a suburban church’s decision to live out Jesus’ teachings, Platt calls for a personal, year‑long experiment that transforms everyday life into an authentic, gospel‑centered journey.

What is the Gospel? by 11083337|Greg Gilbert book cover

📘 What is the Gospel?

This newest addition to the IXMarks series presents a clear, straightforward statement of the gospel, the third mark of a healthy church. What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God. Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Paul's systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.
