Best Selling Books by David Platt

Para qualquer lado que nos voltemos, linhas de batalha estão sendo traçadas: casamento tradicional versus casamento gay, grupos pró-vida versus grupos pró-escolha, liberdade individual versus protecionismo estatal. Parece que a cultura mudou do dia para a noite, a ponto de o certo e o errado não mais serem definidos pela verdade universal, mas pela opinião popular. E, à proporção que conversas espinhosas sobre homossexualidade, aborto e liberdade religiosa continuam a despontar no local de trabalho, na igreja, na escola e nos lares, cristãos de toda parte fazem a mesma pergunta: COMO DEVEMOS RESPONDER A TUDO ISSO? Em Contracultura, David Platt, um dos autores mais vendidos segundo o New York Times, mostra aos seguidores de Cristo como assumir posição ativa em questões tão relevantes para os nossos dias. Também desafia os cristãos a se tornarem vozes incansáveis e apaixonadas em favor da causa de Cristo.

In dieser überarbeiteten und aktualisierten Ausgabe von Gegenkultur bietet David Platt eine Perspektive auf Basis des Evangeliums zu Themen wie Armut, Abtreibung, Sexhandel und Rassismus, aber auch zu der Legalisierung der gleichgeschlechtlichen Ehe, dem umstrittenen Thema Transgender und der überwältigenden Flüchtlingskrise. Anhand von überzeugenden persönlichen Berichten aus der ganzen Welt präsentiert Platt einen herausfordernden und doch gewinnenden Aufruf an Christen, Christus in einem antichristlichen Zeitalter treu zu folgen, und zwar auf eine Weise, die sich sowohl als kostspielig als auch als lohnend erweisen wird.

Disrupted is a distillation of the wisdom of Resilient Futures'', Strategy in Action (SiA), a framework designed to support teams and leaders to leverage-rather than fall prey to- exponential, disruptive change.

Vandag dink baie mense om kerk toe te gaan, armes te help en die regte dinge te sê, maak van jou ʼn Christen. NEW YORK TIMES-topverkoper-outeur David Platt waarsku ons in VOLG MY! dat al hierdie “goeie dade” tevergeefs is as ons dit nie sáám met Jesus doen nie. Wat het Jesus bedoel toe Hy gesê het: “Volg My!”? Om waarlik ’n volgeling van Jesus te wees, beteken om ’n verhouding met Hom te hê en elke dag, daar waar jy is, God se koninkryk uit te bou. VOLG MY! kyk na die Bybelse beeld van wat dit beteken om ’n Christen te wees, wat ons in hierdie lewe moet opoffer, maar ook die onbeskryflike vreugde en vrede wat daaruit vloei om werklik sáám met Jesus die pad te stap.

In un mondo dove si pratica l''aborto, l''omosessualità, la pornografia, il razzismo, la prostituzione l''Evangelo è la vera controcultura. Abbiamo bisogno di stimoli energici, come quelli che possiamo ritrovare in queste pagine, per tornare a essere, con decisione, degli "esecutori della Parola". La Parola di Dio, infatti, muove la volontà umana e spinge ad una condotta operosa, la nostra fede diventa credibile nelle nostre realizzazioni.

When Jesus says, "Follow Me," it''s not an invitation to say a prayer, it''s a summons to lose our lives. Pastor David Platt challenges the traditions of cultural Christianity and reintroduces us to Jesus and His most simple request: Follow Me.

APA YANG YESUS MAKSUD KETIKA IA BERKATA, “IKUTLAH AKU”? Apakah mungkin orang berkata bahwa ia percaya kepada Yesus, tetapi tidak sungguh-sungguh lahir baru? Apakah mungkin orang mengklaim bahwa ia menerima Kristus di dalam hati, namun tidak benar-benar hidup sebagai seorang Kristen? Tidak hanya hal itu mungkin. Menurut David Platt, hal itu bahkan sangat sering terjadi. Penulis best-seller dari Radical ini yakin bahwa banyak orang di gereja kita pada masa kini disesatkan dalam pengertian mereka tentang apa arti sesungguhnya menjadi seorang pengikut Kristus. Budaya sekuler telah menghisap habis darah kekristenan dan menggantikannya dengan versi Injil yang kerdil sehingga begitu cocok dengan selera manusia zaman konsumerisme ini, sampai-sampai Injil tidak terlihat begitu nyata lagi seperti apa yang dikehendaki Yesus. “Ikutlah Aku,” demikian panggilan Yesus. Dua kata sederhana yang mengubah segalanya. Anda tidak akan pernah bosan lagi. Anda akan selalu memiliki tujuan hidup. Anda tidak akan pernah kekurangan sukacita. Tetapi Anda harus membayar harga. Panggilan ini bukan sebuah undangan yang ringan dan nyaman. Ini adalah panggilan untuk kehilangan hidup Anda. PANGGILAN UNTUK MATI. PANGILAN UNTUK HIDUP. SUDAHKAH ANDA MENJAWAB PANGGILAN ITU?

The Kingdom of Christ is made up of many di erent types of people, in many different arenas of life, and in many different life-stages. As Christians, we are called to make disciples. If you are married with children or single without children, your calling is still the same-to glorify God and enjoy him forever. How can the church continue to champion singles, and how should we view singleness in the life of the church?

"David Platt identifies some foundations for our faith that are essential if we want to live for what truly matters. Every disciple has a part to play in the mission that Jesus has given to his church-to make disciples of all nations". (taken from the back cover)
