Radical

"Radical" (David Platt) - I'm not sure who the audience for this book is.  It proposes that many Christians are caught up in the American dream and that we need to live more radical lives for Christ.  He proposes several steps:

• praying for the entire world
• reading through the entire Word
• sacrificing our money for a specific purpose
• spending time in another context (specifically - spending a week in missions)
• committing to a multiplying community

First, these don't seem that radical to me.  Most Christians know they need to read through the Bible - they're either working on a one year plan (even if it takes 2), or they know they should.  Similarly, prayer - I think we all would say we should do more.
