“You have a choice. You can cling to short-term treasures that you cannot keep, or you can live for long-term treasures that you cannot loose. “ David Platt will walk you through, step by step, this much needed choice. Beginning with how the American Dream is actually a lie by Christian standards and the steps we need to take to change our mindset and ultimately our life in an effort to save souls, our ultimate calling. Be willing to read this book with an open heart and an open mind to the calling of the Holy Spirit. Be ready for a Radical change in your life, in the church, in those around you and ultimately globally. A must read!! Disregard the negative reviews and discover for yourself.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I don't say that lightly. I did not expect much from the book and was thus utterly blown away by the power of Platt's expertly written prose. Underneath that prose lies a rock solid Biblical foundation. That prose is chock full of profound statements worth highlighting. (I'm extremely careful with my books. It takes a lot for me to want to highlight something in a book.) Not only are these statements profound, they are convicting. Perhaps they have so much weight because they are so convicting.
I highly recommend this book but only if the reader is ready and willing to understand and apply the truths declared there.

(Oh...I also loved the anecdote about a former drug smuggler whose life was radically transformed by God offering to lend his "expertise" to missionaries attempting to smuggle Bibles into closed countries. Fabulous!)
