Synopsis: 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.
Review: This is a mixed bag for me. In some ways I was uncomfortable reading it because of the negative light it sheds on religions and beliefs other than Christianity. I'm of the belief that as long as you're not hurting anyone, I don't really care what you believe. Your soul and where you spend eternity are none of my concern. It also doesn't seem worth the argument because there's no point. Once we die we all get to find out what happens next, and no one escapes death.
That said, it's a quick, easy read.
