review 1: When I read the description of this book, I was skeptical. It sounded a little silly and far fetched. Well, it is-and I surprisingly enjoyed every minute of it! The book will make you laugh out loud, A LOT! It also is a huge eye opener. I did not realize the "imaginary" Jesus' that I was carrying around in my head with me until I read this book. It was very convicting, convincing, and informative on how to change. I have recommended this book to all of my Christian friends. It was SUCH a fun read, that took a more serious twist about half way through. I loved this book, and could not put it down. (Finished the book in less than a day!) Matt really has a way of being real. No fake-ness, no masking the "rough" side of Christianity. He admits his faults, and it makes you more... more comfortable to find and admit your own.
review 2: Don't be put off by the cover, the title or the blurb! It's much better than that!Honestly, I almost didn't pick up this book. It's outlook, plot and pretext just seemed too extreme! However, something inside me said 'give it a go'. And I'm so glad I did! Imaginary Jesus really makes you think. Who is the real Jesus? How does he fit with the images we get of him from religious and secular society? How can we recognise him in our lives? The real skill of Matt Mikalatos is being able to present questions like these not only in a non-preachy manner, but in a light-hearted and humorous story. Never for one moment does this book stop being entertaining. Yes, it can verge on weird at times but keep reading and the reason will always be revealed. Pick this book up if you want a change from more serious Christian books, but don't want to hang up your brain cells completely. Recommended for Christians in their teens, twenties or simply young at heart. less
