New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

If you really want to hear what God is saying to you, first you have to slow down. That is what Reflections on the Word by acclaimed writer Ken Gire is designed to help you do. To create pauses for reflection, like park benches that allow you to stop and sit and reflect on your spiritual journey. To check the map. And your bearings. And to make any adjustments in your course. Each reflection begins with a Scripture reading. It's followed by a meditation that offers insight into the passage, written either by Ken Gire or other spiritual guides from around the world and across the centuries, including Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Catherine Marshall, Oswald Chambers, and Edith Schaeffer. The closing prayer is intended only to start you praying, in hopes that the Holy Spirit will bring other things to mind-other vistas He would have you see, other paths He would have you take, other precipices He would have you avoid. This is a companion book to two others in this new series by Ken Gire that emphasize the centuries-old tradition of reflective living-The Reflective Life, a spiritual primer, and Reflections on Your Life, a journal.

Just One Moment of Close Attention Can Be a Prayer to God "Does God communicate through the natural world? Through the slug on the compost pile, the leaf on the lawn, the stone tumbled on the beach, the air that feeds my lungs, the dreams that fill my nights? How will I know unless I pay attention?" —from the Introduction Paying attention is rarely easy to do. It requires focus, patience and a willingness to slow down—traits that are hard to come by in this hurry-up world. But close attention to even one small piece of creation, one object, person, routine, image, word or scripture, can become a prayer to God, opening a channel of communication between you and the Divine to allow for deep spiritual growth. In this inspiring guide, you will discover ways to develop a practice of attention as a means of talking—and listening—to God. Framed on the Christian liturgical year and paired with images of the seasons of the earth, each chapter includes an insightful and poignant narrative which illustrates the surprising richness to be found in every attention-getting moment. Following each narrative is a prayer, suggested scripture readings and a specific exercise you can use to develop your own practice of attention as a means to better connect with God. Accessible, humorous and meaningful, these words and practices will lead you further along your path toward discovering a deeper awareness of yourself and your relationship to all that is around you—and within you.
