Review:
This is the first book I purchased on my new Amazon Kindle. I finished it in two days. Sometimes there are certain authors that just resonate with you more than others. Tullian is definitely one of them. It is quite evident in his writing that he deeply loves God and desires to help people understand more fully what they have in Jesus. His latest book, Jesus + Nothing = Everything, is a powerful read. Many Christians easily confuse the simple gospel for other things – what Tullian often calls “performancism”. Rather than resting in what God has already done through Christ, many times we adapt a “try harder, do more” approach to Christianity. Tullian ecourages readers to continually go back to what Jesus accomplished on the cross on our behalf. Our need, as Tullian explains, is NOT to behave better (moralism), but instead to believe better. Drawing from his own personal rediscovery of the gospel, Tullian takes readers on a journey through Colossians along with other key NT passages on the freedom we have through the gospel. I have highlighted so many passages in this book.
Book Description from Amazon:
It’s so easy to forget what the Christian faith is all about. We struggle so much, work so hard, and fail so often that we frequently sense something in the equation of life must be missing.
Tullian Tchividjian argues that what we are missing is the gospel—a fuller, more powerful understanding of Jesus and what his finished work means for everyday life.
During a year of great turmoil, Pastor Tchividjian discovered the power of the gospel in his own life. Sharing his story of how Jesus became more real to him, Tchividjian delves deeply into the fundamentals of the faith, explaining the implications of Christ’s sufficiency—a revelation that sets us free and keeps us anchored through life’s storms.
Ultimately, Tchividjian reminds us that Jesus is the whole of the equation as he boldly proclaims that Jesus plus nothing really is everything.
