Last summer, Finding God in Anime released and has remained a best seller. It appears that there are many who want a devotional for anime lovers. Like a good anime, I’m proud to announce there’s a sequel.

Finding God in Anime 2

Have you ever wanted a season two of your favorite anime but found out it is unlikely for the company to produce one? Stinks, doesn’t it? (And that’s an understatement!) Well, Finding God in Anime definitely isn’t like that. After all, you’re looking at volume two right now!

            Welcome to the second installment of the acclaimed devotional: Finding God in Anime! Each bite-size piece comes straight from the passionate otaku souls in our collective of Christian authors.

·       Go down to your atoms to discover God’s purpose for us in Jobs, inspired by Cells at Work

·       Huddle up to hear God’s game plan for living like Him in Get Your Head in the Game, inspired by Kuroko’s Basketball

…and so many others! So grab your shuriken or computerized make-up compact and join us on the exciting adventure of finding God’s teachings in anime!

More Details

The devotional for anime lovers releases on June 1st, but is now available for pre-order. Each bite-sized devotional is a perfect way to start your day and come from the heart of each author. (I know mine were written based on what I’ve been learning this last year.)

However, anime and Christendom don’t traditionally go together. Most adults will look cross-eyed when teens discuss anime. So when I heard about this anthology of devotionals based on anime, I jumped on board. Immediately, I thought of the anime my middle son watched with me, Re:Creators. I loved the art style, but even more, it made me think about the worlds I create. It’s because of Re:Creators that my current world I’m working with has songs, stories, tasty food, and lore.

Premise of Finding God in Anime

I love how God works. Among the worst times, or in the most unexpected places, you can see His fingerprints. That’s the idea of Finding God in Anime: A Devotional for Otakus. The various authors have seen pieces of the Creator among their favorite anime and have written to encourage you through them.

Blurb

Being a Christian can be tough. Being an otaku can be tough. But being both at once?

Sometimes it seems easier to become Hokage rather than explaining your faith and passions to others. That is why we otaku have united in this devotional: To encourage otaku like you spiritually and through a medium we all cherish.

In this devotional, you will find God in the animes you know and love. Each devotional presents spiritual lessons found in animes ranging from the world-famous Attack on Titan to fan-favorite Haikyu!! to beloved classics like Cowboy Bebop. Each piece will feature a different theme such as:

• Human Will vs. The Holy Spirit in Yona of the Dawn
• Choosing to be Free in Free! Swim Club
• Not by My Might in My Hero Academia

…and many others! We believe that God can be seen throughout His creation—even in places where people might not intend! So pull out your cosplay and snuggle close with your plushies as you join us in Finding God in Anime.
