Publisher Description
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.

"My favorite book from 2012 so far... engaging writing. My key learning was to stop focusing on self improvement- my failures, my success, my struggles, my problems, my issues, my parenting difficulties, my poor prayer life, my bible reading plan as my number one focus. That is morbidly introspective and self centered. instead look to the work of Jesus his righteousness His beauty His Success because in Him I have the same and gazing at Him and His beauty causes my life's alignment in a way that could never happen with my continual navel gazing."

Quotes

“Adam Verner’s compelling narration captures the anguish of a church’s upheaval…Verner authentically portrays Tchividjian’s conviction that the event was designed by God for the purpose of the young pastor recognizing and removing idols from his own life. Verner perfectly renders the lesson that taught Tchividjian that when you have ‘Jesus + Nothing,’ that is all you really need.”

— Eric, 2/14/2014 -
" This book was excellent! It describes in detail how Jesus is everything we need. "
— Julia, 2/14/2014 -
" The gospel is not just how we become Christians, but how we live and grow as Christians. This is a wonderful book. "
— Jerry, 2/1/2014 -
" This book is absolutely amazing! Tullian's teaching on grace is what I have been longing for all my life. It's changed the way I read the entire bible and listen to sermons. "
— Aaron, 1/31/2014 -
" A pretty good book. I definitely enjoyed it more towards the end. There were some amazing quotes and I've written all in this book, but it did drag on for a while and tended to repeat the same thing. I did like it though. "
— Emma, 1/19/2014 -
" Great overview of Colossians. The illustrations alone are reason to read this book. He pulls from some very significant authors like Augustine but also from some that I hadn't heard of as well. "
— Bianca, 1/18/2014 -
" What a refreshing book! I would definitely recommend reading this book as a companion to Keller's Counterfeit Gods. How to remove the idols you identified? Tullian's answer: Only by truly understanding and embracing the Gospel daily. "

" an intellectual treatise through colossians. it was hard for me to get through the first half (not necessarily because of the book, could've been my weary state of mind) but the second half resounded deep within. "
— Ru, 1/7/2014 -
" Some great lessons and examples in this book, but the storyline is not always exciting to follow. One you can put down and forget about for a few months... "
— Karlyn, 12/31/2013 -
" Just read the Bible, unless you're interested in learning about Coral Ridge's doctrines. Tchividjian really didn't make anything new. "
— Lauralea, 12/1/2013 -
" What a powerful, Christ-exalting book. Highly recommended for anyone who desires a greater revelation of the wonder, splendor and magnitude of the gospel. "
— Joseph, 11/30/2013 -
" Good... could have been said in fewer words... but profound nonetheless. "
— Amanda, 9/17/2013 -
" Really great book, getting back to the heart of the gospel. Theology is solid. A little repetitive in my opinion, BUT I guess that helps the message sink in better?! All in all, a worthwhile read. "
— Joy, 8/22/2013 -
" Very good read. Learned to grow in the gospel everyday! "
— Kala, 8/20/2013 -
" One of the best, grace-filled books I have read this past decade. "
— Lou, 2/13/2013 -
" A great book opening up my eyes to the concept of preaching the gospel to myself everyday. I'm on the same journey of trying to figure out how to live the gospel centered life. I love the banner we are called to live under. "It is finished". "
— David, 2/10/2013 -
" A thought provoking book about our Christian walk and how Christ has already done everything necessary and given us everything necessary to walk in a victorious way. "
— Brent, 1/30/2013 -
" This book gave me such a clear and beautiful reminder of the gospel and how to apply it specifically to my struggles with insecurity but it is so much more! It was life to my soul! "
— Lindsay, 12/26/2012 -
" Such a wonderful reminder that my value and worth is not dependent on what others think of me or the successes I have in this world. Thanking God for his grace! "
— Renee, 12/25/2012 -
" A liberating book about the way we understand the Gospel. It really hit hard and heavy, for me. "
— Josh, 11/29/2012 -
" This book and Because He Loves Me by Elyse Fitzpatrick (whom TT quotes) have really helped me to understand the Gospel in a way I had never, ever understood. How could I have been so blind? "
— Jill, 11/13/2012
