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.

you are exhausted by performance Christianity.

Skip it if…

you want balance between grace and effort; this leans entirely on grace.

Try instead: One Way Love →

Three things you will actually use

  1. Jesus plus nothing equals everything.
  2. Performancism is the default; grace is the interruption.
  3. Rest is the posture.

Do this first

Read the chapter on 'the cycle of performancism'.

Our verdict

Grace, heavily.
