As “Pops”, John shares the stories he told his daughter years ago, and now tells his grandchildren today. Stories of fun and wonder, sometimes crazy, but always with a smile.
“I Saw the Skwerdlock” is the second Skwerdlock story created to help spark a love of books, help learn a few words, and just have an excuse to sit in the recliner and enjoy time together.
John B. Jamison – Non-fiction
Starting with Advent and going through Christmas and Epiphany, Tend and Feed asks us to take another look at some famous biblical stories, but this time to approach it from a different angle, as a disciple might. Jesus told his disciples to, “Tend and feed my sheep” (John 21:17) referring to God’s people. We are all God’s creation, no matter what walk of life we may follow. The sermons in Tend and Feed remind us to look for those that we can help every day, as the disciples would.
This book is a useful tool for sermons and teaching classes, as it retells Bible stories from the perspective of a first-century bystander. This alternate viewpoint makes for an enlightening lesson that sticks with the listeners.

What does it mean to be an ambassador of Christ? This is the question that John Jamison asks throughout this Lenten season. During this time where we remember Jesus’ final weeks and actions before his death and resurrection, we must ask ourselves how we can live more like Jesus did, and how we are showing God’s presence to the world? Jamison uses a unique mix of historical fact and modern examples throughout his sermons to show his congregation the many ways that the disciples had lived in Jesus’ example, and how we can do the same. Although we all have those days where we may not act in a way that is befitting of Jesus, Jamison reminds us that there are no requirements for who can be saved by God’s love, for he sent his son to die for all people. So, do what you can today, and do your best to help others using the gifts that God has given you. Remember that nobody is without God’s grace, and that you should love others as you are loved by your Father in heaven.

Sometimes in our zeal to proclaim God’s message of truth and redemption, we over-complicate it. As pastors, we sometimes believe that the greatest message is delivered in carefully planned sermons, with every nuance explained and every chapter and verse deconstructed. But what if we let the stories of Jesus speak for themselves?
“I used this in my study group and we had a great time!”
What happens when you replace the traditional, three-point sermon with the power of story? You get fuel for your imagination that brings old messages to life. Time’s Up takes a unique look at the story of Christmas and the events around it.
For a preacher looking for something different, or for anyone wanting to take a new look at the old stories.
