Hiding Jesus

Seeing Jesus, Book 7

De: Jeffrey McClain Jones

Narrado por: Melanie Carey

In 2003 Tildy Hawkins is wondering if she can trust her friend A.J. with all her secrets. Can she tell A.J. that she lives with her grandma because her mother is in drug rehab? Can she tell her that her irresponsible dad abandoned her? Can she explain what it feels like to be neither white nor black? And can she tell A.J. that she’s tempted to try cutting herself?

All that is too much to tell, too much to trust to another eleven-year-old. And when Tildy accepts that there is no one she can tell all her secrets, reveal all her pains, she gets a visit from an impossible man. He seems to come out of her closet, like one of those monsters in Monsters Inc.

She stares at the man who looks a lot like her idea of Jesus. And she wonders why she doesn’t scream and run away. Unless … he actually is Jesus.

Now she has another secret. How could she possibly tell her grandma that Jesus is hiding in her closet … sort of?

Hiding Jesus is the seventh book in the SEEING JESUS series, which began with the book by that title. It is the story of an encounter between an ordinary person and an extraordinary savior, a savior who shows up right where he’s needed most.

What if He came to you when you needed Him most?

Heartfelt depiction of what it is to be young, lonely and confused. When life seems bleak and you feel alone , it’s nice to know that He is always with you.

Relationships

I really enjoy all the relationships in this story. Having taught 6th grade for many years, the thoughts of the main character seem realistic as well. This book is one of my favorite stories in the series (which is my favorite series). It's a joy to hear the characters and relationships brought to life by the narrator. I was blessed to receive a complimentary code for this title.
