You found Wally – hallelujah! Now to find Jesus…

Where's Waldo? But instead of Waldo it's Jesus.

[wildct2003]

16 scenes in which to Find Jesus. Scenes have no introduction or description, no answer key to ID if you have found Jesus or not. I liked the pictures and had more fun identifying directors in the movie theater scene (look for the row all dressed in black jackets). My guesses are (l to r):

David Lynch
Francis Ford Coppola
Sofia Coppola
Alfred Hitchcock
? (tall black male)
George Lucas
Spike Lee
Steven Spielberg
Stanley Kubrick
Martin Scorsese
Kathryn Bigelow
James Cameron
Guillermo del Toro
Nora Ephron
Quentin Tarantino
? (angry man with detonator)
John Huston
Orson Welles
Ron Howard

L.O.L. This is my current bathroom reader. Gets me every time.

Like Where's Waldo, but with Jesus.

[Ole Jørgen]

Arminian heresy! Luther’s Small Catechism over this ANY day of the week.

This is quite literally the greatest search and find of all time. It's "Where's Waldo" but with Jesus. I knew I would love it when I saw "Seek and ye shall find - Jesus" emblazoned on the back. How is that for winning. There are sixteen different scenes in which to find Jesus. He's hiding at biker weddings, raves, grocery stores, and rock concerts. As the intro proclaimed:

"When Jesus told his disciples, I am with you always," most people assumed he was just adding a little figurative, feel good-good flourish. As it turns out, Christ is a pretty literal guy. Whether you're rocking out at a concert, dancing, at the club, or seeing a movie, our Savior is everywhere you go. Not in a creepy Police song way, per se, but more like a Godly wingman who knows how to appear and disappear on cue.... Bearded hipster or God's right-hand man? Hard to tell. Robe-wearing hippie or the risen Lord out for a good time? Your guess is as good as anyone's."

How can you not fall in love with a book after an intro like that? Finding JC in your everyday life has never been soo fun! He knows how to blend right in with the crowd, so get your magnifying glass ready! Perfect for anyone. Adults, kids, religious folk, hipsters, search and find fans, etc. This book is pure happiness :)

I received this book for free from Blogging for Books in return for my honest, unbiased opinion.

Jesus is harder to find than I expected

Not a book to read, it's like Where's Waldo, except your looking for Jesus. It's entertaining and there is something satisfying about announcing to your family that you "Found Jesus"
