Hiding Jesus

Should she tell her best friend her darkest secrets? With both her parents out of the picture, who can she trust? How can she even continue to live like this?

In 2003, Tildy Hawkins is wondering if she can tell her friend A.J. that she lives with her grandma because her mother is in drug rehab? Can she admit that her irresponsible dad abandoned her? Can she explain what it feels like to be neither white nor black? And can she tell A.J. that she's tempted to cut herself?

All that is probably too much to trust to another eleven-year-old. But when Tildy accepts that there is no one she can tell all her secrets, share all her pains, she gets a visit from an incredible man.

He seems to come out of her closet, like he's one of those monsters in Monsters Inc. She stares at the man who looks a lot like her idea of Jesus. And she wonders why she doesn't scream and run away. Unless ... he actually is Jesus.

Now she has another secret. How could she possibly tell her grandma that Jesus is hiding in her closet ... sort of?

Hiding Jesus is the seventh book in the Seeing Jesus series. It takes place years before the book that started the series. It is another story of an encounter between an ordinary person and an extraordinary savior, a savior who shows up right where he's needed most.
