New Releases by David Platt

El autor de Radical, un éxito de ventas del New York Times, desafía a los cristianos a liberarse del evangelio actual que prostituye a Jesús por comodidad, poder, prosperidad y política, y a buscar por completo el verdadero evangelio que exalta a Jesús por encima de todo. El pastor David Platt cree que nos hemos vuelto muy buenos siguiendo un evangelio realmente malo, uno que adora las ideas estadounidenses sobre la verdad bíblica. Es hora de que los cristianos desilusionados, desalentados y divididos, y la próxima generación, sigan a Jesús hacia un futuro diferente. Tenemos que elegir: un evangelio estadounidense o el evangelio bíblico. División mundana o unidad de otro mundo. Compromiso con los ídolos de nuestro país o compromiso con el llamado de Dios en nuestras vidas. En No te detengas, Platt alienta a los seguidores de Jesús a tomar los riesgos necesarios y encontrar una recompensa inimaginable mientras: Trabajamos a favor, no en contra, unos de otros, especialmente cuando no estamos de acuerdo. Cambiamos el rumbo de siglos de división racial en la Iglesia Confiamos en toda la Palabra de Dios con convicción mientras amamos con compasión a todos los que nos rodean Hacemos justicia con bondad y experimentamos la buena vida según Dios Hacemos nuestra parte en la difusión del evangelio a todas las naciones del mundo Podemos experimentar la maravilla completa de Jesús y la belleza trascendente de su Iglesia aquí y ahora. Pero para hacerlo, algunas cosas deben ser diferentes. Empecemos no con “esa gente”, sino con cada uno de nosotros. Con el evangelio en nuestros corazones y Dios como nuestro premio, sigamos adelante y no nos detengamos. u200b u200b The New York Times bestselling author of Radical challenges Christians to break free from an American gospel that prostitutes Jesus for comfort, power, prosperity, and politics—and fully pursue the true gospel that exalts Jesus above all. Pastor David Platt believes we’ve gotten really good at following a really bad gospel—one that worships American ideas over biblical truth. It’s time for disillusioned, discouraged, and divided Christians, and the next generation, to follow Jesus into a different future. But we have to make a choice: an American gospel or the biblical gospel, worldly division or otherworldly unity, compromise with the idols of our country or commitment to God’s call in our lives. In Don’t Hold Back, Platt encourages followers of Jesus to take necessary risks and find unimaginable reward as we: Work for, not against, each other, especially when we disagree Turn the tide on centuries of racial division in the church Trust all of God’s Word with conviction while loving everyone around us with compassion Do justice with kindness and experience the good life according to God Play our part in spreading the gospel to all the nations of the world We can experience the full wonder of Jesus and the transcendent beauty of His church here and now. But in order to do so, some things need to be different. Starting not in “those people,” but in each one of us. With the gospel in our hearts and God as our prize, let’s press on and don’t hold back.

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.

"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)

See how the gospel compels followers of Christ to counter culture on a wide variety of social issues in the world around them.

A short-term, video-enhanced Bible study for all youth by David Platt.

Challenge the traditions of cultural Christianity, and examine the meaning of Jesus''s simple request: Follow Me.

This is a distillation of shared practices, ideas, knowledge, and insights gained over many years of real world facility management experience. No unnecessary wordiness is intended or required for this guide. The focus is on the human factor because this is the true variable in the equation of any business entity. We discuss the three elements of people in the business realm: 1] the customers, 2] the employees, and 3] you, in the center of all this as the leader.

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?

AMBIL LANGKAH SELANJUTNYA DARI PENGIKUT KRISTUS YANG RADIKAL MENJADI KOMUNITAS YANG RADIKAL Dalam buku Radical, David Platt memanggil orang Kristen untuk meninggalkan mimpi duniawi dan kembali kepada iman mereka. Ini mempengaruhi banyak pembaca di berbagai tempat dan buku ini dengan cepat menjadi buku terlaris New York Times. Dalam buku Radical Together, penulis memperluas panggilannya dengan menantang kita untuk bersatu dalam visi yang berpusat pada Injil. Dalam buku ini dia bertanya, bagaimana visi seperti itu bisa membentuk ulang prioritas kita sebagai tubuh Kristus? Bagaimana orang Kristen yang hanya baik-baik saja bisa menghalangi umat Allah melakukan tujuan Allah? Dan, bagaimana kita bisa melepaskan umat Allah dalam gereja untuk menjalankan tujuan Allah dalam dunia ini? Tulisan ini bagi semua orang yang rindu memberi dampak bagi kemuliaan Allah–entah Anda itu seorang jemaat, pemimpin, atau pendeta–David Platt membagikan enam pemikiran dasar yang bisa memunculkan ketaatan radikal di antara orang Kristen dalam gereja. Dengan pengajaran Alkitab dan kisah-kisah yang menginspirasi di seluruh dunia, dia bisa membantu Anda menerapkan perintah dan pernyataan revolusioner Kristus kepada komunitas orang percaya Anda dalam cara-cara yang segar dan praktis.

In the first devotional from David Platt, Follow Him equips and empowers you to bring people to know Jesus Christ through your life. To be a disciple of Jesus is to make disciples of Jesus. This has been true since the first century, when Jesus invited four men to follow him. More than searching for fish all over the Sea of Galilee, these men would spread the gospel all over the world. They would give their lives by not simply being disciples of Jesus, but by sacrificially making disciples of Jesus. And God’s design for twenty-first-century disciples is the same. Becoming a Christian involves responding to the gracious invitation of God in Christ. As we follow Christ, he transforms our will, mind, desires, relationships, and our ultimate reason for living. Every disciple of Jesus exists to make disciples of Jesus, here and among every people group on the planet. Bestselling author and Bible teacher David Platt invites you to take a closer look over the next thirty-five days at what it means to be a true disciple; to become a fisher of men; and to give up your life, take up your cross, and Follow Him.

Exalting Jesus in Psalms, Volume 2, Psalms 51-100 is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this commentary series, to include 47 volumes when complete, takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a “Reflect & Discuss” section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It’s not academic but rather presents an easy reading, practical and friendly commentary. The authors of Exalting Jesus in Psalms, Volume 2, Psalms 51-100 are Matt Mason, David Platt, and Jim Shaddix.

David Platt, autor bestseller del New York Times, embarca al lector en un viaje desgarrador, espiritual e introspectivo por los barrios empobrecidos de las montañas del Himalaya. Con una gran pasión y sorprendente vulnerabilidad, Platt desafía a los lectores a marcar la diferencia en un mundo lleno de necesidades urgentes, comenzando en sus propias ciudades. Mientras dirigía un grupo en una larga caminata por las montañas del Himalaya, el autor bestseller y pastor David Platt, se sorprendió de las necesidades humanas que iba descubriendo en el camino, fue una experiencia tan dramática que "cambió la trayectoria de mi vida", comenta el autor en el libro. Al encontrarse con un hombre que había perdido un ojo por una simple infección, al ver la trata de niños en las ciudades y muchos otros sucesos inolvidables, vio cara a cara a las personas detrás de los números estadísticos y lo obligó a luchar con lo que él pensaba que era la fe. En Algo tiene que cambiar / Something Needs to Change, Platt invita a los lectores a participar tanto en la caminata como en la travesía de buscar respuestas a preguntas difíciles como, "¿Dónde está Dios cuando hay sufrimiento?" "¿Qué hace que mi religión sea mejor que la de otra persona?" y "¿Qué pienso acerca del sufrimiento eterno?" Platt ha creado un mensaje indeleble sobre lo que significa dar tu vida por el Evangelio: dejar de hablar sobre la fe y empezar a vivirla verdaderamente".

USA TODAY, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, AND ECPA BESTSELLER • The author of Radical takes readers on a soul-searching journey through impoverished villages in the Himalayan mountains, daring them to make a difference in a world of urgent need, starting right where they live. “Grippingly vulnerable and unforgettable. I could not put this book down.”—Ann Voskamp, author of One Thousand Gifts While leading a team on a week-long trek of the Himalayas, bestselling author and pastor David Platt was stunned by the human needs he encountered, an experience so dramatic that it "changed the trajectory of my life." Meeting a man who''d lost his eye from a simple infection and seeing the faces of girls stolen from their families and trafficked in the cities, along with other unforgettable encounters, opened his eyes to the people behind the statistics and compelled him to wrestle with his assumptions about faith. In Something Needs to Change, Platt invites readers to come along on both the adventure of the trek, as well as the adventure of seeking answers to tough questions like, "Where is God in the middle of suffering?" "What makes my religion any better than someone else''s religion?" and "What do I believe about eternal suffering?" Platt has crafted an irresistible message about what it means to give your life for the gospel--to finally stop talking about faith and truly start living it. Praise for Something Needs to Change “Rugged. Authentic. Gritty. Real. Worshipful. There are no other books like this one. I always pick up David’s books with a sense of excitement and, quite honestly, apprehension—because I know that areas of compromise and complacency in my life are going to be exposed. But this book exceeded even my high expectations, for which I am grateful. And so will you be. As David writes, it’s time to run, not walk. Let’s go.”—J. D. Greear, president of the Southern Baptist Convention “Extraordinary and challenging. I’ve just never read a book like this before. I am so moved. Bring your full heart to this story and watch how God opens your eyes, changes your mind, and broadens the dreams you have for your life.”—Annie F. Downs, best-selling author of 100 Days to Brave and Remember God “If you dare to read this book, you might just have an unexpected encounter with Jesus that leaves you weeping on the floor, as David’s experience did. Something changes within us when the seemingly overwhelming needs of the world present themselves simply in the life of a single person. Ultimately, I pray your compassion will be transformed to action.”—Santiago “Jimmy” Mellado, president and CEO of Compassion International

Compassionate call to counter culture in a world of poverty, same-sex marriage, racism, sex slavery, immigration, persecution, abortion, orphans, pornography.

Welcome to the front lines. Everywhere we turn, battle lines are being drawn—traditional marriage vs. gay marriage, pro-life vs. pro-choice, personal freedom vs. governmental protection. Seemingly overnight, culture has shifted to the point where right and wrong are no longer measured by universal truth but by popular opinion. And as difficult conversations about homosexuality, abortion, and religious liberty continue to inject themselves into our workplaces, our churches, our schools, and our homes, Christians everywhere are asking the same question: How are we supposed to respond? Let David Platt, in the Counter Culture Scripture and Prayer Guide, take you on a thirty-one-day tour of the pressing issues of our day and how Christ would have us respond to them. This guide includes instructions on how to lead a month-long group discussion about these issues, as well as thirty individual daily Bible readings. Don’t let the winds of this culture push you and your family around. Throughout the next thirty-one days, take time to build your life on the truth of God’s Word.

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?
