More than two years after David Platt's Radical (Multnomah Books) released, it has reached 100 weeks on the New York Times Advice & Miscellaneous Paperback best-seller list. With more than a million copies in print, the book, which also continues to appear on the CBA Top 50 list, first debuted on the New York Times list on June 6, 2010—just weeks after it was published.

A hardcover combined edition of related books The Radical Question and The Radical Idea is planned for release Oct. 2 from Multnomah Books, offering an introduction to Radical's challenge to the contemporary church: "What is Jesus worth to you?" In the book, Platt, pastor of the Church at Brook Hills, a 4,000-member congregation in Birmingham, Ala., explores what a commitment to Jesus would actually look like in action.

In a promotion to support Radical, WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group is hosting a contest to give one winner a $1,000 Visa gift card to help with his or her mission trip expenses. The contest runs through Sept. 9 and is open to U.S. residents age 18 or older who will participate in a mission trip between Oct. 1, 2012 and Sept. 30, 2013.
