Coaltown Jesus by Ron Koertge
I chose this because it was short, and then two different people told me I would like this book. It's short, and the format looks like verse. It was sweet, and gave me a new perspective on Jesus. Apparently, he's funny and likes Almond Joy candy bars.
Walker's brother recently died, and he has asked Jesus to help his mother cope with it. Turns out, Walker needs help coping too, though he doesn't realize it yet. Jesus hangs out with Walker for a few days, and Walker is able to see the beauty in what is around him. Jesus helps him, just like we believers think he will do.
I like this version of Jesus, and I hope he's this cool in Heaven.
