Product Description
A little boy imagines what it would be like if Jesus came to spend the afternoon with him -- the little boy Jesus, of course, "about the age that I am and about the size of me." It is easy to see why this friendly little book, originally published in England, has already sold 19 editions. It offers the Golden Rule in concepts easily grasped by small children and indirectly suggests some ways to carry them out. "I still can share with Jesus
the nicest of my toys
by lending them or giving them
to poorer girls and boys.
And though He may not visit me
as I have wished He would,
yet even so He'll bless my house
if I am kind and good."

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!!!

I had the old version of this precious children's book from my childhood. I love the new, colorful illustrations. The products arrived quickly and in perfect condition! Thank you!
