Imagining JESUS Nathanael Delagneau

What do you get when you imagine Jesus in the jungle? The answer: a sage guide who protects and provides for those under his watch. Nathanael is a 10-year-old boy who dreams of adventure, although (like most kids), he fears the dark. What Nate doesn't know is that he's about to embark on the journey of a lifetime with Jesus in an African rainforest befriending a hilarious chimpanzee and a protective indigenous tribe, as well as standing his ground against a sneaky snake and a massive lion who's been stalking him. Facing these fears with Jesus in the Congo empowers him to face his fear of the dark (back home). Imagining Jesus is about practicing the presence of God for children. This book empowers them to use their God-given imagination at the highest level in order to help them overcome their fears. Fear stifles creativity. But practicing the presence of God-imagining Jesus in personalized circumstances and/or fun settings-fosters conversation and frees the imagination to do what it does best: create, inspire and invoke wonder.
