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.

Those dreams have continued to inspire her as co-founder and co-organizer of the devotional Finding God in Anime as well as a writer and YouTuber for Beneath the Tangles, a website that blends discussion of anime and Christianity. She also even started her own anime-inspired small business, Cheery Tangerine Creations! When she’s not busy brainstorming new pin designs or filming YouTube videos to convince others to read her favorite manga titles, you can find her playing video games with her husband and three children. Come see what manga she is reading and recommending on her YouTube channel!

Growing up, Joshua had a very active imagination, creating different worlds and stories in his head. Deciding to write down his many ideas, Joshua filled and sometimes completed small works and short stories that would eventually lead him to pursue being an author one day. Finding a similar passion in both his Christian beliefs and history, Joshua began crafting stories from these parts of his life; eventually coming to the conclusion to put both together and craft new and rich stories that he hopes captivates readers the same way the likes of Ted Dekker, Joseph F. Girzone and those like Rick Riordan captured his imagination at a young age. You can find out more on his blog or you can find him on Instagram (@joshuareidwrites).
