Picture
Opening page: 

Jesus and I sometimes grab lunch at the Red and Black Cafe on Twelfth and Oak. It's decorated in revolutionary black and red, with posters and pictures of uprisings on the walls. The menu is vegan, which means that there are no animal products in the food. No meat, in other words. No honey, for that matter, because we don't want to steal from the hardworking bees. 

My Imaginary Jesus 
by Matt Mikalatos

Matt Mikalatos liked Jesus a lot. In fact, he couldn't believe how much they had in common. They shared the same likes, dislikes, beliefs, and opinions. (Though Jesus did have better hair.) So imagine Matt's astonishment when he finds out that the guy he knows as Jesus . . . isn't. He's an Imaginary Jesus: a comfortable, convenient imitation Matt has created in his own image. The real Jesus is still out there somewhere . . . and Matt is determined to find him.

In this hilarious, fast-paced, sort-of-true story hailed as "Monty Python meets C. S. Lewis," Matt embarks on an incredible chase to find the real Jesus and ask him the one question that his Imaginary Jesus has never been able to answer. It's a wild spiritual adventure like nothing you've ever read before . . . and it might bring you face-to-face with an imposter in your own life.
