Jesus + Nothing = Everything by Tullian Tchividjian

This short book by Tullian Tchividjian was written as he was recovering from taking over D. James Kennedy's pulpit in Fort Lauderdale.  Dr. Kennedy was a giant of a pastor, very politically and theologically conservative.  Mr Tchividjian is a much younger, hipper pastor who had recently started a church plant in FL.  Coral Ridge convinced him to combine the two congregations and things went sideways fast.  This book is what came from that experience.  For any of us who think anything but Jesus is important, this book has much to say.  By making Jesus everything, we have everything that we need.  I've read several books recently that try to unpack the gospel, I think this was the best of them.
