Jesus + Nothing = Everything
by Tullian Tchividjian
Written from a hard season of church conflict: Colossians and the sufficiency of Christ against the performance treadmill. Grace-heavy, repetitive and freeing for readers worn out by trying. Note the author's later public failures; the book's argument about grace stands on its own.
