A Day with a Perfect Stranger

Description

When her husband comes home with a farfetched story about eating dinner with someone he believes to be Jesus, Mattie Cominsky thinks this may signal the end of her shaky marriage. Convinced that Nick is, at best, turning into a religious nut, the self-described agnostic hopes that a quick business trip will give her time to think things through.

This is a worthy sequel to the first book - Dinner with a Perfect Stranger. However, it is still a sequel and suffers from some of the stereotypes that sequels are often inflicted with. Frankly, it's not as good. It's still enough to hold the reader's interest, to be sure, but I found some of the dialogue a little leading and, especially in the latter chapters, a little unrealistic. The first half of the book does a great job being conversational, but as the book draws to a close, Gregory almost just comes out and says what he wants the reader to infer. He has Mattie ask the questions he wants her to ask and the book loses some of it's conversational tone as a result. I'd go so far as to say the last half of the book feels rushed.
This is an awesome sequel to "Dinner with a Perfect Stranger". However it is Nick's wife, Mattie who becomes involved in a conversation with Jesus while on a business trip. As with the first book, Gregory does an outstanding job answering questions that are often asked, especially pertaining to relationships. It is a must read along with the first book. Both were very enjoyable, thought provoking, and invaluable!
A very quick read about a woman struggling with her husband's new found religion and her lack of religion. The book is played out on her conversations during a business trip flight. This is a sequal book and I didn't read Dinner With a Perfect Stranger but I'm assuming it's the same message. Typical discussion between believers and non believers. Glad it wasn't any longer.
I really enjoyed this one, about believing in God without pacticing religion or belonging to a church. 101 pages
Here is a book that speaks volumes and only take an hour to read, but has some much to offer in it's meaning and it's truth. If your human and need some answers about your life.... then read this.
Mattie Cominsky views a business trip as a time to decide if she wants a divorce. She has no idea that a stranger she meets on the plane will help her make that choice.
Dialogue with a skeptic about Christianity. Very relevant to issues that come up when two people discuss God.
