Dinner with a Perfect Stranger by David Gregory


Intriguing and Thought Provoking

Dinner with a Perfect Stranger by David Gregory is about a man caught in today’s rat race. He works long hours, does not see his family much, his relationship with others continues to deteriorate and his faith is all but gone. That is until he receives an anonymous dinner invitation. The main character debates at length if he should go or not. Finally, he decides to go just to see who is dinner partner really is and finds out it is Jesus of Nazareth.

Most of us would think, yeah right dinner with Jesus but what interested me was the thought provoking part that caught me by surprise was “What would I say if I was in his shoes?” The story covers many good questions but I was more intrigued by what was being asked and how or if I would do the same thing? The book is a quick read but generates many internal questions one must ask about how their relationship is with God. Are we just going through the motions? This would be a great book for a Christian book club or a bible study group.

I received a free copy of this book from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing in exchange for my honest review of the book.
