Tullian Tchividjian

This was the first of Tullian's books that he gave me. We were once good friends and would get together for coffee weekly while I'd also drop by his office sometimes for a talk. He had a great charisma about him, was young and exuberant, very intelligent, compassionate, committed, and it was found out quickly that he drew big crowds, not because he's Billy Graham's grandson, but because he's good at what he does -- he's an evangelical preacher. That said, while I don't agree on much concerning such theology, he's one of the more open minded evangelicals I've ever encountered, so I was quite sad when I found myself moving from Knoxville to an island (living on the beach) while he moved back to South Florida. I've never seen him again. He's published a number of books over the years and while this was the first I read, I don't think it's his best -- it certainly doesn't convince me, although he's a fine writer. He has written some other books that stand up well though, and he's got an interesting life story, so if you don't know of him, you might want to look him up because he's definitely worth exploring.… (lisätietoja)
