Philly Thompson lives alone with his cat, Irving, in a one-bedroom apartment in Chicago. He worries about his weight, frets about his job, longs to get back with his ex-girlfriend, and wishes his ma would stop nagging him. To you and me, a pretty average guy. To Jesus, the raw material for a miracle . . . or two. When this ordinary guy stumbles into an extraordinary experience, everything seems … seems possible, except staying stuck in that same dull life. Seeing and hearing Jesus right beside him rocks Philly’s world and reaches beyond him to his coworkers, his girlfriends and his family. Too bad no one else can see or hear Jesus there. Will Philly be rejected yet again? Will they just decide that he’s crazier than they imagined? Or will they let Philly’s contact with the Divine lift them out of their suffering and light their lives with hope?

I wasn’t sure when I started reading that this was going to be what I thought the title meant. But once I started to read, I could imagine what this type of encounter would mean to someone that was not a believer. I know that many of us that are believers would love to have an encounter with the King of the Universe, our creator in this way. …
I enjoyed it and read the entire book in 2 days.
This is a wonderful story of a man meeting Jesus. He can actually see and hear Him for about a week. It was so interesting to see that how he interacts with Jesus present is how we should act all the time even though we can’t see Him with our physical eyes. I highly recommend this book!
I have read and reread this book. I loved it. It was refreshing to “feel” the humanity of Jesus.
A books for believers or non-believers. Through story telling the authors explains many of the concepts I learned and puzzled by. It makes me want to pray more for others with great expectations and knowing Jesus is there helping me. It builds my faith.
I enjoyed this book but at times it was just repeating itself. I like how Jesus used others to heal people.
For the skeptic, it might not make any sense but for the believer… this book is a confirmation of the character of our Lord. He is hilarious, compassionate, kind, approachable, forgiving, and more.
All of his books about Jesus are outstanding. I plan on reading other books of his.
What would you do if all of a sudden Jesus was visible to you? This story helps me to see my savior as always there with me. Loved this book.
Loved it!
Moving and inspiring . Thank you . On to Sharing Jesus, next book in series.
Although a simple story, Seeing Jesus brings up some very interesting questions for a Christian, the most important being: how different would my actions be if I could see how Jesus reacted to them?
This is just what the protagonist learns as a highly visible Jesus tags along with him creating situations that run the gamut of hilarious to …
One of the best books I’ve ever read! Jesus has become even MORE real to me, than ever! I’ve purchased several to share and pass around, because it had such a profound effect on me and has changed my life!
Great Christian story – loved the idea of literally – visually walking with Jesus daily!
This is one of those books I am just not sure about. I guess these things could happen. It would be wonderful to experience that. Just have to think about it.
Loved the premise. All believers know that Jesus is with us always, but what would it be like if we could physically see him there!
Enjoyed this book tremendously and would highly recommend it be purchased by fellow Christians and non-believers.
