From the Back Cover
What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Follow me?†Is it possible for people to say they believe in Jesus but not truly be born again? Is it possible for people to claim they have accepted Christ into their hearts yet not actually be Christians? Not only is it possible, but according to Pastor David Platt, it’s also highly probable. The author of the bestselling book Radical is convinced that many people in our churches today are misled as to what it truly means to be a follower of Christ. Western culture has drained the lifeblood out of Christianity and replaced it with a watered-down version of the gospel that is so palatable it isn’t even real anymore. “Follow me,†Jesus calls. Two simple words that change everything. You will never be bored. You will always have purpose. You will never lack joy. But it will cost you. This call is not an invitation to pray a prayer. It is a summons to lose your life. a call to die. a call to live. Have you answered that call?

This is the first book by David Platt that I have read, although his renown precedes him. I want to stress that theologically I really agree with 95% or more of the content of this book. But it is that pesky 5% that often occurs in absolute statements about what makes a christian that I take umbrage with. It's not that he's entirely incorrect about statements about how christians should have a passionate emotional response to what Christ has done for us and what he is doing in us. But I find that Platt often goes perhaps too far by making absolute statements (outright or subtextually) that infer you MUST have a passionate emotional experience in order to be a christian. It's that subtextual or outright message that I disagree with. Should a Christian exhibit these features? Yes. Does devotion to the Lord need to be fiercely preached in today's pluralistic "anything goes" christianity? Yes. But saying you have to do something in order to be saved, if that thing is extra-biblical (i.e Platt's idea not God's idea written for us in the word) is potentially incorrect.So I say all of this under the umbrella that many members of the church need to be spurred on to a greater devotion and faith to the Lord, and that perhaps many of us do need to consider if we are indeed his.But ultimately it is the Lord whom we must obey and not David Platt, and there are just a few too many statements incorrectly put in this book so as to lead some to have the idea that extra biblical requirements are due to have a relationship with God. I believe Platt would agree with me about this stipulation, and he does point out at times the exceptions to his "rule" like statements. None the less he frequently follows it up with these absolute statements that don't leave any space for people who know the Lord but are imperfect. It's often all or nothing. These are things we should all aim for, but they are not requirements for salvation per se.Platt does promote many great ideas about devoting ourselves to the Lord, being passionate to committing our lives to God, and spreading the Gospel world wide.Overall it's worth a read, but I'd read it with the knowledge that your faith is between you and God, not you and David Platt.
David Platt is a mega church minister that went rogue. He wrote a book called "Radical" that was excellent, and this book is good, just not as good as Radical. In fact, I was not even aware that Platt had another book on the market, but a friend of mine was reading it, and said it was good. It is a good book, and perhaps a book that all Christians need to read. It talks about the need to restore the evangelistic call of all Christians. The book is about helping the church go beyond “come and listen†to “go and tell." The author deals with the foolishness of the "Sinner's Prayer." He notes that there is no example or command for this practice. This is music to my ears because of the need to go back to the Bible and restore the plan of salvation. The author talks about the problems that highlighting this false doctrine has created in America Christianity. He has some strong words in his book. This is needed and powerful. And sadly, it seems that some progressives refuse to say that anyone is lost. "People who claim to be Christians while their lives look no different from the rest of the world are clearly not Christians." There are a ton of great quotes in this book. It is perhaps more motivational than theologically rich. But he is trying to get a sleeping church to be evangelistic again. This is a good book, and a needed read.
I love David Platt's first major hit book, "Radical". His writing style was so concise and took the words of Christ at their most literal interpretation, which is rare in today's Christian culture. As great as the writing was, the message behind it was even better and changed my life.I pre-ordered "Follow Me" as soon as I heard it was going to be released.Like many others, I agree that the intention of this book is good. It is extremely important that as spiritually healthy Christians, the point of our lives is to die to Christ and be a vessel of evangelism to others.Unfortunately, from a writing stand point this book is filled with a painfully large amount of fluff. I would read almost every chapter only to realize that the point of the entire section was summarized in one sentence in the first paragraph. The rest of the chapter then was filled with rephrasing the same thing, or adding his own personal convictions.This leads me to the content. Again, I love Platt's literal and unsoftened interpretation of the Bible. Unfortunately, with this book, a great deal of his passages are snippets of verses to make his point relevant, without fully explaining the context. That is dangerous for a pastor that has so many people reading his words. Second, as much as he claims that he does not believe that people can lose their salvation and/or that salvation is not based on words, everything else he says in the book strikes me as the exact opposite. Certaintly, as Christians our lives are to give our will's up to Christ, and evangelize. In his book, however, Platt keeps repeating over and over that if you are not constantly pursuing evangelism you are not a Christian, which I do not believe is even remotely biblical. Even as a viewpoint that is different than mine, his argument that you don't truly believe in Christ if you don't perfectly execute these things is very weakly presented.Overall, the intention of the author and his message seems to be a great message to supercharge complacent Christians and churches to fulfill God's will for us. As an author and theologian, though, this is definitely the last book of Platt's I will read.
