Imaginary Jesus by Matt Mikalatos

WOW!!! 

I was enthralled and super impressed by this book. I have so many people that I wish would read it! Imaginary Jesus is "in your face" and will knock over "sacred cows" with many people. In this book, the author, who is also a main character faces issues in his life by identifying where he has been following an imaginary Jesus instead of the real Jesus Christ. 

I think Matt did a wonderful job with this book. I didn't come away from it with out praying and asking God to show me any places that I was following any thing that seemed like Jesus, or God, but wasn't or isn't. I grew up in a Christian home and I have watched many many "Christians" follow a Christ that isn't quite right. That point seemed to be well honed in Imaginary Jesus. 

If my Internet works, I hope to post more thoughts soon. For now I will leave you with the thought and wish that this book should be passed out for mandatory reading in most of the churches I have been in. Are you following the REAL Jesus Christ, or one that is imaginary and seems to be real?
