About this listen

Imaginary Jesus is a hilarious, fast-paced, not-quite-fictional story that's unlike anything you've ever read before. When Matt Mikalatos realizes that his longtime buddy in the robe and sandals isn't the real Jesus at all, but an imaginary one, he embarks on a mission to find the real thing. On his wild ride through time, space, and Portland, Oregon, he encounters hundreds of other Imaginary Jesuses determined to stand in his way (like Legalistic Jesus, Perpetually Angry Jesus, and Magic 8 Ball Jesus). But Matt won't stop until he finds the real Jesus-and finally gets an answer to the question that's haunted him for years. Be warned: Imaginary Jesus may bring you face-to-face with an imposter in your own life.

I read this in one sitting today and it took me on a wild ride. I’ll never look at a beagle the same again. A bear attack? Accidentally picking up a lady of the night? The president scrubbing your toilet? I loved this “true” story and I will take a lot of what I learned with me into my relationship with the real Jesus. 10/10

Where does Imaginary Jesus rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Making God after our own image is all too often a common struggle. With so many opinions and differing voices out there it is hard not to get caught up in the sensationalism, trends and niches. Matt Mikalatos amusingly exposes these and helps to paint a true picture of Christ. More than once I caught myself laughing out loud at his witty narrative, but never once did I lose sight of the ultimate message, which is to search after God’s true heart.

What about Matt Mikalatos’s performance did you like?

The author narrates his own story with surprising skill, and as the listener, you know you are getting a timing and oration that are spot on.

A humorous journey every Christian should read

Always love a different way to contemplate our spiritual journeys. We make Jesus who we want him to be more often then we want to think. This book brings this to light and helps us see Jesus for who he is.

Great book

A different and creative story for describing Jesus, or rather the many versions we imagine him to be. Entertaining! Great ending.

I promise that if you stay with this book, you will be glad you did. For a fundamentalist, this book would be hard to read or listen to but I believe it's core values and portrayal of Jesus are spot on!

A fun story, an interesting journey, a wild ride to a place we all should want to be, no matter hard or painful it is to get there.

Quirky at first but stay with it!!!!

Such a funny, unique take on wrestling with your faith. I loved the fact that it wasn’t just another theological academic book, but was actually a story that could be related to and enjoyed. Absolutely fantastic and a must read for everyone!

Fantastic

I own a physical copy of this book and read it years ago but wanted to have it read to me and go through it again. I messaged the author after I read it the first time, he’s a really nice guy.

We need an audio of the next book he wrote called “Night Of The Living Dead Christian!!”

Love this book!
