Muitos cristãos desejam ler a Bíblia com constância, mas acabam enfrentando os mesmos obstáculos: falta de prioridade, dificuldade de compreensão, frustração com textos complexos ou a sensação de que a leitura não produz transformação real. O resultado é um relacionamento superficial com a Palavra — e, muitas vezes, culpa por não conseguir ir além. Em Como ler a Bíblia, David Platt oferece um guia prático, acessível e profundamente bíblico para mudar essa realidade. Mais do que incentivar a leitura das Escrituras, ele ensina como abordá-las de forma séria, reverente e transformadora. O autor apresenta o método MAPS — Meditar e Memorizar, Aplicar, Orar e Compartilhar — como um caminho simples e eficaz para que cada leitura se torne um encontro real com Deus. Com orientações claras sobre o que evitar — como interpretações centradas apenas em si mesmo ou a busca por "descobertas inéditas" — e sobre o que cultivar — disciplina, profundidade e obediência —, este livro conduz o leitor a uma experiência mais rica e consistente com a Palavra. Como ler a Bíblia não é apenas um convite à leitura bíblica; é um chamado à transformação de vida. Ao aprender a ouvir a voz de Deus nas Escrituras, você descobrirá que a Bíblia não foi dada apenas para ser entendida, mas para ser vivida — e que, ao mergulhar nela com intenção e humildade, seu amor por Deus crescerá de maneira profunda e duradoura.

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 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.

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

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

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?

"Revealing a biblical picture of what it means to truly be a Christian, Follow Him explores the gravity of what we must forsake in this world, as well as the indescribable joy and deep satisfaction to be found when we live for Christ"--

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".

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 earliest Christians had the privilege of bearing the name of Jesus Christ to enemies of the gospel. They were residents of the Roman Republic, but also citizens of heaven. They were persecuted for their faith, but were unashamed of the gospel. They knew him whom they believed and were persuaded he was able to deliver them from evil. Fast-forward twenty centuries. Spiritual temperatures are again dropping. These citizens of heaven are now resident throughout the world, and are being granted the privilege of the early saints. As nations grow ever more hostile to Christ and his followers, Jesus summons those who bear his name to be unashamed. He is the only hope of salvation for all who repent and believe. In Unashamed of the Gospel, authors Matt Chandler, R. Albert Mohler Jr., John MacArthur, Thabiti Anyabwile, Mark Dever, Kevin DeYoung, J. Ligon Duncan III, John Piper, and David Platt come together for the gospel to encourage Christians with Paul''s pastoral plea to Timothy: "do not be ashamed about the testimony of our Lord" (2 Timothy 1:8).

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. Readers are asked to question: What are the disruptors that will or may impact your organization, and, how will you leverage them?

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.

You may think you are a Christian—but are you sure? Jesus'' call to follow him is more than an invitation to pray a prayer. It is a summons to lose your life and find new life and ultimate joy in him. In David Platt''s book Follow Me: A Call to Die. A Call to Live he asks the question, "What did Jesus really mean when he said, ''Follow me''?" What if we really listened to Jesus'' words and heard what he is saying? When people truly engage with Jesus'' personal invitation to follow him, everything changes, for he is worthy of all our trust and affections. What Did Jesus Really Mean When He Said Follow Me? builds on the message of Follow Me to motivate readers to experience our grand purpose: to exalt the glory of God by spreading Christ''s gospel—to make disciples who are making disciples. This booklet is a great resource to share with others to discuss crucial faith questions in a personal and grace-filled manner and engage others to be disciple-makers in obedience to Jesus. Ideal for small groups or personal and mass evangelism, this pamphlet covers: The issue of sin The role of the church in a Christian''s transformation The importance of spreading the gospel and making new disciples David Platt, author of Radical and Counter Culture, helps you examine your life according to the biblical standard and discover what it truly means to live for Christ.

Um convite imediato. Uma decisão eterna. É fácil encontrar gente que se diz cristã. É igualmente fácil encontrar quem frequente alguma igreja. Mas até que ponto vai, de fato, o compromisso com Deus? Quem está disposto a enfrentar o desafio do Evangelho e levar uma vida semelhante à de Jesus? Afinal, aceitar o convite do Mestre — "Siga-me!" — não significa apenas a certeza de salvação; implica também a missão de carregar a própria cruz. Em Siga-me, David Platt (uma das mais destacadas lideranças cristãs da nova geração nos Estados Unidos) defende que a magnitude do chamado de Jesus só é ignorada por quem alimenta uma religiosidade superficial. É preciso abandonar o próprio ser para viver em Cristo e para Cristo. Este livro é um convite à jornada rumo à vida eterna daqueles que, por conhecê-lo verdadeiramente, vivem como discípulos e dedicam-se a proclamar o Reino.

The emphasis of Managerial Accounting, 10th edition is on teaching students to use accounting information to best manage an organization. In a practice Hilton pioneered in the first edition, each chapter is written around a realistic business or focus company that guides the reader through the topics of that chapter. Known for balanced examples of Service, Retail, Nonprofit and Manufacturing companies, Hilton/Platt offers a clear, engaging writing style that has been praised by instructors and students alike. As in previous editions, there is significant coverage of contemporary topics such as activity-based costing, target costing, the value chain, customer profitability analysis, and throughput costing while also including traditional topics such as job-order costing, budgeting and performance evaluation.

This new series edited by David Platt (Radical), Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida combines expository teaching with a devotional tone, helping readers learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture.

Challenge the Status Quo The Radical Question offers a compelling introduction to Radical’s challenge to the contemporary church. In this concise message, Platt asks, "What is Jesus worth to you?" Then he explores what a commitment to Jesus would actually look like in action. The Radical Idea extracts key passages in Radical Together, the follow up to Radical, to show readers that church is not built on places, performances, programs, or professionals, but on people. Platt argues that those of us in the pews are meant to be active and intentional in spreading the good news of the gospel because when ordinary believers mobilize in everyday ministry, communities and church families change dramatically. "The goal of the church is never for one person to be equipped and empowered to lead as many people as possible to Christ. The goal is always for all of God''s people to be equipped and empowered to lead as many people as possible to Christ." --David Platt
