Jesus Imagination: Maker, Mender, Minder, Master - Hardcover

by Leonard Sweet (Author)

Imagination isn't a luxury. It's how Jesus changed the world.

In Jesus Imagination: Maker, Mender, Minder, Master, Leonard Sweet reveals Christ as the divine artisan whose way of seeing transfigured reality-and still can.

What if Jesus' most revolutionary act wasn't what he taught-but how he imagined?

Jesus healed bodies.

He forgave sins.

He defeated death.

But beneath it all was something even more radical: a holy imagination that redefined reality itself.

In Jesus Imagination: Maker, Mender, Minder, Master, Leonard Sweet explores Jesus as tekton-artisan, gardener, storyteller, and master of meaning. Jesus didn't flatten mystery; he deepened it. He didn't reduce faith to answers; he expanded it into wonder.

Drawing on Scripture, theology, semiotics, cognitive science, and cultural reflection, Sweet shows how Jesus used story like joinery, silence like sandpaper, hyperbole like a hammer, and love like fire. His imagination transformed:

mustard seeds into kingdoms

outsiders into family

scars into testimony

crosses into thrones

This is the tenth and final book in Sweet's acclaimed Jesus Decalogy-a culminating vision for following Jesus in an age of AI, automation, and spiritual numbness.

For disciples, creatives, pastors, and anyone longing for a faith that still breathes, Jesus Imagination is not just a book-it's an awakening.

Step into the divine workshop.

Let your imagination catch fire.

And learn to see the world the way Jesus did.
