#0062A Imaginary Jesus - Matt Mikalatos

Finally got my Kindle back at this point. Amazon sometimes has Kindle books for free for a limited time and this one was one, and now it's back up to like eight bucks! Score.

What a wonderful way to start out a book. Matt Mikalatos is in a vegetarian restaurant eating and chatting along with Jesus (this is in present day btw) and then this "Pete" guy comes up and punches Jesus in the face.

It's about how people imagine Jesus to be, instead of what he really is. Conservative Jesus, Liberal Jesus, Hippie Jesus, Mormon Jesus, Testosterone Jesus, Model Jesus, Football Jesus, Super Jesus, CEO Jesus, Perpetually Angry Jesus, Liberation Theology Jesus, New Age Jesus, Baptist Jesus, Health Nut Jesus...and the list goes on. They all attack Mikalatos at once at one part in the book. The book is pretty humorous with some sap to it. I was definitely worth being free and it's probably worth 5 bucks too, I'm just really cheap. Soooo 3.5 stars
