Seeing Jesus

By: Jeffrey McClain Jones

Narrated by: Richard Tensley

He dreads nothing more than being alone. And being even more alone seems inevitable now. Still, he’s not the kind of guy who invents an invisible friend. So what’s happening to him? Will he ever get his old life back?

Philly Thompson lives with his cat, Irving, in a one-bedroom apartment in Chicago. He worries about his weight, frets about his job, is tempted to get back with his ex-girlfriend, and wishes his ma would stop nagging him.

When he meets a strangely dressed man on the bus, he stops worrying about his grandmother, who’s in the hospital, and starts questioning his own mental health. Apparently no one else can see the strange guy. Which must mean he’s not really there. Except there he is always hanging around, all day long. And for days in a row.

When Philly stumbles into this extraordinary experience, he has little faith of his own. Religion is okay for his grandma. But not for him. And this visit from the guy claiming to be Jesus seems to go beyond what his grandma has told him about her faith. Who will believe him if he tells what he is seeing and hearing?

If he tells, will Philly be rejected yet again? Will his family and friends just decide he’s crazier than they imagined? Or will the people around him let Philly’s experience lift them out of their suffering and light their lives with hope?

This is the first book in the Seeing Jesus series, originally written as a stand-alone novel.

Very Insightful

I loved how it reminded me that Jesus is truly with us at all times. Also. that Jesus has a sense of humor. As humans we tend to forget that Jesus was human and still God, with His human part experiencing everything we experience. Sorrows, pain, love and joy.We forget that and this book was a nice reminder. I've recommended this book to my daughter. I highly recommend this book to anyone. Thank you again for the reminder that Jesus is always with us.

My Favorite!

I've read this book 2-3 times and have lost count of the times I've listened. I tell people about it all the time. Don't miss it! (then check out the rest of the series!)

Life-changing Story!

I love, love, love this book. It strengthened my faith in ways I can’t explain. If you want to know the Lord Jesus better, read/listen to SEEING JESUS!

Heart message

Well, written, kind presentation of relational access to the.Messiah. Well worth the time to listen and investment of emotions. The characters are believable and interesting.

The Middle Eastern stranger on the bus

A joyful read - certainly not for everyone but a specific group who still believe in taking to Jesus. There’s always a cost to such an intimacy.

Absolutely Delightful

I enjoyed this book so much. It was great to listen to and I am going to listen to the entire series. Christian books do not have to be serious in order to teach. This was funny and sweet, a feel good book. I'm not going to write a synopsis, I'd give too much away. If you want to feel good, listen to this book or read it, it's wonderful.

We can all hear Jesus!

This book is an awesome reminder that Jesus is real and with us every minute of every day!

Beautiful picture of Jesus

Fascinating picture of Jesus & true faith. Loved this book. Great performance too by reader. Looking forward to the next in this series.

Amazing Story

I really enjoyed this book so very much!! This was a book I could not put down. 😀 I cried on some parts and loved the connection of Jesus 🙏 Very moving and inspiring a must read and I highly recommend, it will not disappoint. I'm so excited to start the next book in this series.
