WaterBrook Multnomah has implemented a marketing plan for Christmas and the New Year that will help readers apply the message of Radical as they celebrate. The “Be Generous” action plan encourages individuals/families, small groups, and church leaders to have a radical Christmas by using the Gospel as their guide during the holidays. The plan includes specific ways to celebrate by living out the gospel in ways that are true, filled with promise, and ultimately world changing.  

For readers looking for further direction on applying the Radical message, Multnomah Books will be releasing Radical Together: Unleashing the People of God for the Purpose of God  in Spring 2011. Readers have responded with astonishing enthusiasm to Platt’s call to rethink how Christians live out the Gospel, but has left them asking “What’s next?” Radical Together shows readers how to implement the book’s principles in their local church and features the passion, clear Bible teaching, and memorable story telling that David Platt is known for.

As senior pastor of The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama, Platt lead his congregation through the one-year Radical Experiment, in which the church got serious about the gospel according to Jesus.
