>I just received the book “Radical” by David Platt. A little while ago my friend (pastor of Frederick Blvd Baptist Church in St Joseph, MO) MICAH FRIES posted the video that follows. Not quite “your best life now” stuff; and Platt, who pastors The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama, is not exactly a thunderous preacher; but neither does he preach in order to get invited back.
The book is next on my list…I may jump to it after watching this two-minute sample of his thoughts: http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11079005&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ffffff&fullscreen=1 http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=jacksjots-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1601422210&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr
