I attend the University of Tennessee at Martin, and we just read through it in BCM (formerly BSU) LifeGroup last semester. It's extremely convicting, to the point of depressing. I've actually brought it up in a few other posts here on the Forums. I've been a Christian since I was 7 years old, always trying to do the will of Yeshua/Jesus my Saviour, even creating a website ministry my senior year in high school to reach more with the gospel. When I read that book, it made me realize that even with everything I had been doing, I needed to do much more.
As we read through it, we also read through the short book "Look What God Can Do" by Jess Jennings, a missionary in the Philippines that two of my friends met last summer on a mission trip, and he came to speak one week at the BCM (Baptist Collegiate Ministry). We also read through the WORLD CHRISTIAN material, and prayed for certain countries around the world each week. It was one of the most enlightening Bible studies I've ever been a part of, and I definitely walked away with knowledge that can save the world (Hosea 4:6).
I really think that David Platt's book "Radical," or L.A. Marzulli's DVD, "Watchers" need a full-fledged group Bible study. One can get a lot out of them by themselves, but group discussion enhances faith so much. Remember, where two or three are gathered in His name, He will be there also (Matthew 18:20).
The first week, we watched this sermon by David Platt, which gives some insight into book.
