The kind of book that makes you step back and take a look at your own life. When I finished I had my own conversation with God and listened hard to hear what he had to say. I liked this book and have decided to keep it as a part of my permanent library to share with others.

In this book the main character gets a dinner invitation from Jesus. He takes it out of curiosity and ends up in a very nicely done conversation, where he gets to ask some hard questions. Well done in a hard to do genre.

This is a great book whether you are a believer or Not! I loved it

The story is very engaging, and uses a five course meal as a metaphor for a deep discussion about faith between a high-class business man and Jesus. I appreciated how the author depicted Jesus as one that is easy to talk to and who respected modern day culture. I also appreciated that the author emphasized that in Christianity, a relationship with Jesus is key - not good works or performance. However, even as a Christian, this was a bit much on the evangelical side for me. It is clear that the author wrote this to "reach" non-Christians and to try to explain the Gospel in a different, more relatable way (to some). However, I did not appreciate that he said that other religions are "wrong." As a Christian, I do believe Christ is center to faith, but I also believe that Jesus would respect other faiths and not speak negatively of them. This is definitely a controversial book amongst Christians (and non-Christians). The story is intriguing (what would it be like to have dinner with Jesus?), but I don't find that this kind of work is necessarily appealing to non-Christians. If you are not interested in Christian evangelism, you probably would not like this book.
