Seeing Jesus

By Jeffrey McClain Jones and Elle Gonzalez Rose

Book Overview

Philly Thompson isn't looking for Jesus. He's not even sure he wants anything to do with religion. So why is Jesus following him around?

Philly lives with his cat, Irving, in a one-bedroom Chicago apartment. He worries about his weight, frets about his job, wonders whether getting back together with his ex-girlfriend would be a terrible idea, and wishes his ma would stop nagging him. Mostly, he just wants his ordinary life to stay ordinary.

Then he meets a strangely dressed man on the bus.

No one else seems to see him.

At first, Philly questions his own sanity. The stranger can't really be there. Except he is-showing up again and again, day after day, talking with Philly, walking beside him, and claiming to be Jesus.

Philly has never considered himself a man of faith. Religion is fine for his grandma, but this is something entirely different. If he tells anyone what he's seeing and hearing, who will possibly believe him?

Yet the longer Jesus remains, the harder it becomes for Philly to dismiss what's happening-or ignore the changes unfolding in his life and in the lives of the people around him.

Could the person only Philly sees become the one who helps him finally see his own life clearly?

Seeing Jesus is a warm, thought-provoking story about an ordinary man encountering Jesus in the middle of an ordinary life-and discovering that he will never be the same.

Originally written as a stand-alone novel, Seeing Jesus became the beginning of a 10-book series after readers wanted the story to continue.
