What a great read! "Dinner with a Perfect Stranger" by David Gregory is a great book. It is easy to read but packs a lot to think about. A mysterious invitation to dinner with Jesus would leave anyone with lots to think about.
I love the way the book is laid out; each chapter reflecting a course of a meal. I felt as though I was sitting at another table in the restaurant observing the dinner. Starting with the reluctant invitation to the dinner, the main character Nick works his way through some of his questions about Christianity. He knows some of the basics of world religions and asks why they are wrong. The answers come openly from Jesus and clearly show why other world religions are wrong. As the book progresses, so does the dinner and with each new course we see Nick open up even more to the gift that is found in Jesus Christ. Personally, I love the last chapter (Home) and the hope that it leaves with the reader.
I think this book is a great starting point for those who, like Nick, are questioning why world religions are wrong. It provides a great, easy introduction to the fundamentals and leaves the reader with a great hope.
