I'm going to use this to offer some thoughts on jumping into David Platt's One Year Radical Experiment. It might help those of us who have started this summer as a part of the Rooted study. Platt's book has been extremely helpful as far as giving us a common understanding of the kind of life God calls us to as followers of Jesus.
My one addition to Platt's vision for recapturing a biblical Christianity that is not influenced by the "American Dream" is that what was neglected was a vision for including the heart. While I agree with everything that he offered in the book, what I wanted him to challenge us to bring our hearts along in the project. I will try to unfold this in the months to come.
I did get on Operation World's email list so I'm receiving the country of the day. You won't get a new country every day (there aren't 365 countries in the world) but you will get an email linking you to the website letting you know what country to pray for. I'm through Mail, Afghanistan, and now Austria! It's kind of like Wakko's World in the Animaniacs!
One last suggestion. I'm using Robert Murray M'Cheyne's reading plan. M'Cheyne (1813-1843) was a minister in the Church of Scotland. His reading plan allows you to read the New Testament twice and the Old Testament once. There are also some additional resources that go along with this. One book I've ordered and I'll let you know how it goes...
