Product Description
If Jesus came to your house, would he be your age and height? How would you treat him? Would you give him your nicest toys and let him have the longest turn on your rocking horse? In this simple, touching story, a young boy realizes that he can treat others according to the lessons he would learn if Jesus really did come to his house.

Precious story! October 19, 2008
Both the older edition and this newer one are just precious!I'd recommend this for families with young children. Also nice as a gift book for religios milestones in a Christian child's life.
If Jesus Came To My House October 18, 2008
A book that should be on every child's library list. I use them for gifts for new babies.

Reviewed by Cayden (age 4) and Max (age 2) Aures and Mom for Reader Views (9/08)
In "If Jesus Came to My House," a young boy imagines Jesus coming to his house in the form of a young boy that is about the same age. The boy shares with him the best of everything that he has and treats him kindly and graciously. In the last part of the book, the boy says that he knows that Jesus will never come to his house in the way that he imagined, but he knows that he can go to church and pray and talk with him there. He can also treat others in the manner that he imagined treating Jesus.
Max: "Is that Jesus?"
Cayden: "The boy is pretending that Jesus is that other boy. He is thinking what he would do if Jesus came to his house. I don't think it is really Jesus though, Max. He is pretending."
Cayden: "He is being very nice to him by giving him his things."
Cayden: "He drinks tea? I don't think kids drink tea."
Max: "Me tea!"
Cayden: "No Max, we are too little to have tea."
Cayden: "That is a cool hiding spot in the wall!"
Max: "Good hide spot!"
Cayden: "That boy is real nice to share all of his things! I share sometimes too."
Cayden: "It is good to be nice to other people like the boy is in the book. He gave that lady flowers and shared his toys."
Parent's comments:
"If Jesus Came to My House" by Joan G. Thomas is a wonderful, wholesome book that teaches some important life lessons. The story was very interesting to my children and they could relate a lot to what the boy was doing, except for the tea drinking part. The illustrations were simple, yet complemented the story well. I really loved the messages conveyed and think that this book would make a wonderful Christening gift for any child.
Best Children's Christian Book Ever... August 21, 2008
This book really shows what Christianity is all about. I read it to my 3 year old everyday. It is relatable for a 3 year old and he loves it!!!
