Summary

#xA0; A proclamation of Christ#x19;s sufficiency that frees us from self-righteousness and keeps us anchored through storms. Jesus + Nothing = Everything is the equation that Tullian Tchividjian took away from a year of great trial and turmoil. In his new book he describes the bitter divisions that soured the beginning of his pastorate at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, and the personal anchor that he found in the overwhelming power of the gospel. The book of Colossians, in particular, forms the basis of Tchividjian#x19;s call for Christians to rediscover the gospel and continually reorient our lives around Jesus. #xA0; Tchividjian insists that many who assume they understand the gospel fail to actually apply its riches to their lives. He takes particular aim at self-righteousness that emphasizes moral behavior while ignoring gospel indicatives. In contrast, Tchividjian delivers a strong grip of the gospel and the radical freedom and peace that are only then possible. This book delves into the profound theological truths of the gospel, yet the message is intensely practical-Tchividjian sounds the call for believers to lean hard on Christ in every area of every day.
