I'm slightly impressed. I just finished "Dinner With A Perfect Stranger" by David Dregory and 100 pages later (yes it's that short) I'm thinking "what a cool concept!" It was short, sweet, and to the point. Not something I would normally pick up but still a decent read. Basically, a guy named Nick gets a dinner invitation from Jesus and even though he thinks it's a joke he shows up to the Italian restaurant to meet the Savior. Over wine, veal, and tiramisu Jesus and Nick have a battle of the wits over theology, belief, and heaven. By desert Nick is finally convinced that he is sitting with the real Jesus Christ, not some weird impersonator. Cheesy, happy, etc., etc. It was a cool concept although I believe it could have been pulled off a little better. Still though, not a bad read. God knows I wouldn't have shown up to a restaurant to meet Jesus Christ if some weird invite came in the mail.
