I just loved the idea for this story. A typical workaholic man gets an invitation to dine with Jesus. The possibilities seem amazing. What would you ask him? What would he look like? How would he act toward him?
The entire book is set over the course of Nick Cominsky's dinner with Jesus. Nick doesn't pull any punches with Jesus. Since he thinks that this dinner is a hoax, he works hard to try and trip up Jesus. While he is grilling Jesus, Nick starts to believe that he is the real deal. He starts to really hear what Jesus has to say and over the course of one dinner, Nick's life is changed forever.
The book was very fun to read. It is a short book so it doesn't take very long to finish. I think I read it in a couple of hours. Although it is short, I thought it had some really good insights. I wouldn't say that there was anything that was life changing for me but it was all good. It might pack more of a punch for someone that was "on the fence" of Christianity.
I think that I would recommend this book to someone wanting an uplifting read but doesn't have much time. I would have preferred that the story be more in depth. It left me wanting more. I guess if you have to say something bad about a book, that is a pretty good one.
