The Day Jesus Moved Next Door Kindle Edition
In Sterling City, a spiritual battle unfolds. Darkness clashes ferociously against the brilliance of God’s light. Amidst the conflict, Jesus of Nazareth moves into the old farmhouse at 30 Summit Avenue. His eyes burn with intensity as He fights for those He meets. And the enemy is not happy.
As the lives on Summit Avenue intertwine, Jesus ignites hope, pushes boundaries, and opens doors to redemption and self-discovery. Amidst the struggles and challenges they face, the residents find themselves on a transformative journey, but not necessarily the journey they'd like to take.
Come become a resident of Summit Avenue.
Praise for "The Day Jesus Moved Next Door":
"Kicking back with this book felt like sitting on a porch swing watching a storm roll in—comforting in an unexpected way. It wasn't just about spiritual battles or divine drop-ins; it was more about the folks next door figuring life out one hard knock at a time. The mix of everyday drama with those big, universe-pondering questions got me thinking more than I expected. It wasn't all heavy, though—the laughs were genuine, and I really got a kick out of some of the lighter moments. What truly stuck with me was how raw the conversations felt, especially those deep night chats that seemed to pause the rain itself. It’s rare that a story makes you feel part of the community it portrays, but this one did just that. It’s solid, makes you feel something real, and by the end, you might just see your own little world a bit differently." Jordan Beckett, Amazon Reader
"One of the most moving books I have ever read!" Callie Kennedy, Amazon Reader
“'The Day Jesus Moved Next Door' is a book that truly resonated with me. It’s a unique blend of humor, warmth, and deep spiritual insights that makes it a compelling read. Russell’s writing style is engaging and down-to-earth, making the book feel like a conversation with a good friend. The characters are well-drawn and relatable, and the storyline is both entertaining and thought-provoking." M. Gabriella, Amazon Reader
"The wonderful result is a book that will have you in worship and in tears. The impossibility of completely showing Jesus gives way to the reality of Truth. And Jesus is truth. A wonderful book, and a fun read."David Bergsland, Radiqx Press
"The novel has many very touching moments, funny moments, and moments that will 'make you think'. ... If you're wondering how well written the book was, I was able to obtain this book for "free" through Kindle Unlimited, but I actually went back after reading it and purchased the book, because I wanted to encourage this author (and authors like him) to continue writing these great books." Amazon Reader
Influenced by Joshua, In His Steps, Piercing the Darkness, and the author's own novel, The Jesus Boy, this what if story and its people will remain with you long after you've finished reading the last page.

“Can you help me, Jesus? Maybe just a little bit of heavenly favor? All I want…all I need is a decent job.”
“You have my favor. And I will be with you through all your days, and you will have my perfect peace through all the tests you will endure.”
So many quotes that I related to. Especially in this season of my life. What I would give to sit down TALK to Jesus, have Him LOOK in my eyes and heal the pain. Like Frank, I’m facing an uncertain future. Plans gone like sand through my fingers. Mr. Russell does a fantastic job of evoking emotions that span the spectrum of humanity, doubt anger bitterness depression fear hate envy regret…all while showcasing the all consuming love of God our Father. He writes about ABBA in a manner that you really do feel as if He could move into your neighborhood. I pray we as believers will keep our eyes on Him and help push back the darkness with compassion, love and determination.
The deceiver can only point to the past, our Redeemer gives us a future.
Excellent story!
The storytelling about Jesus and the neighbors on Summit Avenue were vibrant and deep on different levels. I found myself laughing, crying and anxious at different parts of the book. I saw myself in a few of the men and women's stories as they went through adversity. I enjoyed getting to know each character on an intimate level, seeing their past traumas, fears, addictions, religious beliefs, and seeing how they were transformed through the warm, kind interaction of Jesus Christ. The encounters with Jesus were gentle and compassionate, and seeing how He took time for each person stirred my heart on a deeper level. Jesus spent a lot of time with Frank Bruno and I enjoyed how he develops after his interactions with the One. There were many twists and turns that kept me on my toes. I can see how the author was in true connection with God as he wrote each word, because this book reveals the heart of God and how much he loves us no matter where we are in life. He will come looking for us when we are lost.
As I read each chapter, it made me think about my own prayer life and how Jesus hears our every thought, our desires, our fears and many other feelings we deal with day to day. One of my favorite aspects of this book is how the author, Sean Russell shows battles between archangels and demons. Jesus opens the spiritual eyes of a few characters and they see the majestic creatures fighting one another, and as the followers of Christ pray, God's angels are able to push back the darkness. It was a great visual to remember as we go into battle with prayer and when we praise God. Our words, our thoughts, speaking scripture in prayer, praising and worshipping God changes the landscape and will transform our neighborhoods and our lives forever.
The novel has many very touching moments, funny moments, and moments that will "make you think". There was enough "suspense" to keep you interested, but not so much that it isn't a very comfortable and relaxing read. If you're wondering how well written the book was, I was able to obtain this book for "free" through Kindle Unlimited, but I actually went back after reading it and purchased the book, because I wanted to encourage this author (and authors like him) to continue writing these great books.
Now, I am going to go look for other books by this author to read.
Top reviews from other countries
"The Day Jesus Moved Next Door" is an intriguing and challenging exploration of “What if…?”: What if Jesus were to be physically present for a while in our everyday circumstances? How would we react? Russell shows how a wide variety of people from different walks of life respond to the sudden physical presence of Jesus—of His love, humility, power and majesty; and how many are forever transformed by that experience.
Sean Russell has a great gift of bringing home spiritual truths in a strong but non-offensive way in the context of of a gripping story.
I strongly recommend this book to everyone who seeks to follow Jesus Christ in this day and age; and especially to those who may have grown jaded with the ‘sameness’ of the Christian message coming to them from other sources. God’s love is always new: and this book gives you His new wine in a fresh, new wineskin!
