Jesus: Prince of Peace Not Pieces

$9.99
Jesus, our “Prince of Peace” (Isa. 9:6), has a message. To a world bitterly fragmented by geo-political greed and aggression, Jesus has a message.
  • To a nation constantly fighting civil wars that come from self-serving ideologies, Jesus has a message.
  • To a generic Christendom improperly offering a relationship with God on its own terms, Jesus has a message.
  • To a church fractured by a history of idolizing opinions, minimizing doctrine, and the tradition of fussing over tradition, Jesus has a message.
  • To congregations that have split and are rummaging through the debris of bitterness and the shame of a lost future, Jesus has a message.
  • To Christians who put their convictions on display and display a want of compassion, Jesus has a message.
  • To those of us who can’t seem to get along with anyone who won’t go along with us, Jesus has a message.
His message is as clear and powerful as the “Peace! Be still!” he spoke to a storm (Mk. 4:39). He said, “Be at peace with one another” (Mk. 9:50). In JESUS: PRINCE OF PEACE, NOT PIECES, Dan Winkler encourages us to be peacemakers and enjoy the togetherness Jesus makes possible. He dares to challenge us, our home congregations, our brotherhood, and religion as a whole with the prospect of Peter’s words, “Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind (1 Pet. 3:8).

Jesus “Be” Attitudes

$9.99
Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them saying: Blessed are … Jesus never went “on tour” as a motivational speaker. He didn’t author a definitive study on how to fill one’s life with all that it is lacking. No, he wasn’t a therapist who addressed all the insecurities of his day. He was a simple man who lived a simple, pauper’s life and shared a simple message of joy. It began with these familiar words. •Blessed [literally, “Happy”] — Yes. It is possible for us to enjoy our lives. •are — Happiness can be ours right now. We don’t have to wait for heaven. •the / those who — We can know true joy if we choose to be a certain kind of person. What kind person? Dare to find out? In JESUS’ “BE” ATTITUDES, Dan Winkler places us inside our Lord’s “beatitudes” and the joy they promise. He helps us understand what these thirteen “Simple Sayings” require of us and what they look like in life by using Jesus as an example. Then, he offers us practical how-to ways we can bring each into our own lives and know a peace we never dreamed possible.

Some of Jesus’ Favorite Stories

$9.99

A study of our Lord's parables

Jesus loved to tell stories, and he was good at it! He'd take an everyday experience, craft it into an easy-to-be-remembered illustration, and drive home a spiritual point he wanted to make. The Holy Spirit called these beautiful little stories called parables. Dan Winkler guides us through fifteen parables. He unravels their contexts and unveils the reason for their being told. He alerts us to some details that make each story breathe with life. Then, he invites their timeless messages into our lives and provides why Jesus could be called a "Teacher Come From God" (John 3:1-2).

GRACE: Simply Incredible, Incredibly Simple

$9.99
SOMETHING SWEET! SOMEONE WRETCHED! Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound! That saved a wretch like me! John Newton first published those beautiful lyrics in 1779, and they resonate as much today as when they first fell from his pen. There’s a reason. GRACE: Simply Incredible, Incredibly Simple ushers us into the heart of God where we see his passion for showing us compassion. In four easy-to-read, uplifting chapters, Dan Winkler will help you understand and enjoy the embrace of God’s amazing grace.

Forgiven, Forgiving, and Free

$9.99
No sin. No guilt. No fear of hell. No bitterness. No rage. No regrets. Nothing compares to having your past expunged or turn loose of someone else’s. That’s forgiveness. It’s a love that rises above pain and disappointment. It’s a gracious spirit willing to turn loose of the past and treat others as if they never hurt you. Forgiveness is the greatest blessing God has ever offered and the greatest gift we could give ourselves or others.

Something Happened When I Prayed

$9.99
SOMETHING: INCREDIBLE, AWEFUL, DREADFUL, WONDERFUL God hears. God is near. It helps so much but can hurt so deeply. It demonstrates the depth of our trust but can destroy our faith. It draws us close to God but can make God feel far away. Something happened when I prayed leads us into the throne room of God, alerting us to all that goes on up there when we pray down here.
