  About the Book:   Is Jesus enough. Just pure, unadulterated, Jesus in the raw. It seems like we cannot experience Jesus without our superstar pastors, worship teams, and huge expensive programs. Christianity has become so divided and polarized by political, socio-economic, and doctrinal lines. If Jesus is Love, If Jesus is good, If Jesus changes everything, why aren't we changed?
