Follow Me

David Platt has travelled extensively to teach the Bible alongside church leaders throughout the United States and around the world. Atlanta natives, he and his wife Heather, made their home in New Orleans, until they were displaced by flooding following Hurricane Katrina, in 2005. David and Heather were married in 1999. They are the parents of three children, Caleb, Joshua and Mara Ruth.

In 2006 David became the Pastor of The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama. He has written two books, 'Radical – Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream' and 'Radical Together – Unleashing the People of God for the Purpose of God'.

What did Jesus really mean when he said, “Follow Me”? In this new book, David Platt, author of the New York Times bestselling book, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, contends that multitudes of people around the world culturally think they are Christians yet biblically are not followers of Christ.

Scores of men, women, and children have been told that becoming a follower of Jesus simply involves believing certain truths or saying certain words. As a result, churches today are filled with people who believe they are Christians... but aren’t. We want to be disciples as long as doing so does not intrude on our lifestyles, our preferences, our comforts, and even our religion.

Revealing a biblical picture of what it means to truly be a Christian, Follow Me 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.

The call to follow Jesus is not simply an invitation to pray a prayer; it’s a summons to lose your life—and to find new life in him. This book will show you what such life actually looks like.

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 in him. Pastor David Platt continues to challenge cultural Christianity in this much-anticipated follow-up to Radical. This book compels each one of us to examine the validity and vitality of our own personal faith. "Follow Me" is a life and death message for all who claim the name of Christ.
