About the book:
Megachurch pastor
Nick Gregory’s life is falling apart. His wife is filing for divorce. His
congregation is questioning his leadership. His faith is nearly nonexistent. It
goes downhill from there. When he regains consciousness after a horrific car
crash, Nick realizes he is no longer in his hometown – or even in the
twenty-first century.
Transported back
in time to 800 B.C. and into the body of King Saul’s grandson Mephibosheth,
Nick must quickly adapt to a completely different way of living. Can the experience
of living as another broken man, desperate for God’s healing, bring healing to
Nick himself – if he can ever get back home?
A novel of
adventure, redemption, and outrageous grace, Dead Dog Like Me takes you back in time to know more deeply a God
who never changes, a God who lavishes you with His love.
My review:
An incredible
thought provoking novel!
One sinful action
and how Nick Gregory, senior pastor of a megachurch, handles it has a cascading
effect. When the book opens he is spiraling into a pit as things in his life
fall apart as a result.
Nick and the
secondary characters closest to him are well developed and very human. There is
a large variety of personalities included. There are also many different ways
that people deal with the situation. As happens in real life it doesn’t take
Nick long to find out who are truly his friends and who are just riding his
coat tails of success.
Max Davis does a
fantastic job of crafting a story where God uses research from Nick’s past,
extreme events, and the family dog to teach Nick some deep truths about grace,
mercy, and forgiveness.
