You are Invited to a Dinner with Jesus of Nazareth
The mysterious envelope arrives on Nick Cominsky's desk amid a stack of credit card applications and business-related junk mail. Although his seventy-hour workweek has already eaten into his limited family time, Nick can't pass up the opportunity to see what kind of plot his colleagues have hatched.
The normally confident, cynical Nick soon finds himself thrown off-balance, drawn into an intriguing conversation with a baffling man who appears to be more than comfortable discussing everything from world religions to the existence of heaven and hell. And this man who calls himself Jesus also seems to know a disturbing amount about Nick's personal life.
…………..
"You're bored, Nick. You were made for more than this. You're worried about God stealing your fun, but you've got it backwards.… There's no adventure like being joined to the Creator of the universe." He leaned back off the table. "And your first mission would be to let him guide you out of the mess you're in at work."
………….
As the evening progresses, their conversation touches on life, God, meaning, pain, faith, and doubt–and it seems that having Dinner with a Perfect Stranger may change Nick's life forever.

Dinner with a Perfect Stranger: An Invitation Worth Considering
"Because they never learned to live as the new people they were."
"Dinner with a Perfect Stranger" is a 3 star book in terms of quality, but I gave it 4 stars as a read for its ease of manner in addressing what (for some) can be complex theology in a very accessible manner.
The premise of this novel is that a man named Nick who is not a follower of Christ receives a dinner invitation to a local restaurant from Jesus. This short 100 page book is their conversation over dinner. Don't roll your eyes at the premise. "Dinner with a Perfect Stranger" (look closely at that title, there is a lot of meaning packed in there) is a lovely and simple lesson on the basic theology of Christianity and a relationship with God.
There are moments that are profound elements of Christianity that are very simply observed. Some examples:
"I'm saying that God's desire to forgive doesn't negate his perfect justice."
"God longs to have you with him. That's why he created you."
"A new heart gets you in the game. Then you have to let me be your instructor."
I'm a believer, so I know that shaped my reading of the text, but when I took down the critical eye, and looked at it through a wider lens I found that I enjoyed this book. It may be too basic for some, and it certainly does no try to complicate with dogma, but I won't complain about something that is theologically sound and helps remind people of the message of Christ.
