Jesus Wins
Author: Dayton Hartman
Reclaiming our common hope.
Too often discussions about the End Times are fraught with wild speculation or discord. But a biblical view of eschatology places Jesus' return and victory at the center. All Christians hold this hope in common.
In Jesus Wins, Dayton Hartman focuses on this common ground to reveal why the way we think about the End Times matters. Christian eschatology should be rooted in biblical orthodoxy to inspire hope and greater faithfulness in the present age. That's the point of eschatology after all! Drawing from his own ministry experience, Hartman testifies to the unifying power of Jesus' victory.

Endorsements:
Hartman's book is an encouragement to the church that eschatology is not a place for speculation but hope. Rather than be fearful about the end, Hartman asks the church to unite around the essentials and be about the work of the gospel with hope and assurance rather than anxiety. This introduction to the hope of eschatology will be a welcome resource for pastors and laity.
—Russell Moore, president, The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention
This is a solid book. ... For anyone who is overwhelmed or confused when thinking about how the world ends, I'd recommend this as a helpful resource and starting place.
—Joby Martin, lead pastor at The Church of Eleven22
Dayton Hartman has written a fine introduction to Christian eschatology, the doctrine of the last things. In this short book, he provides an introduction to relevant biblical passages and to the various views held in the church over the centuries. He includes important warnings against speculation and good encouragements to the unity of the church, since views of the last days have been terribly divisive over the years. The book is written in an easy, conversational style, and it most emphasizes what Scripture emphasizes, that through all the conflicts of world history, Jesus wins.
