No matter where you are now, get ready to embark on your own passionate pursuit of The next Level.
Review:
If ever a back cover copy depicted a book's content, this one does. Another amazing modern-day parable from the author of A Day with a Perfect Stranger and Dinner with a Perfect Stranger, The Next Level will challenge you to be on God’s agenda, not yours. Short and an easy read, it’s a book you’ll never forget.I was amazed and tickled with Gregory's ability to depict the Christian walk in corporatese. On one of the levels, you'll see all the world's religions allegorized in the business world. The Next Level is a must read for all Christians, but be prepared. You won't get through it without thinking, "Ouch."

Sounds like a book I can relate to after 20+ years in the corporate world - most of it in New York City's financial district. I suspect that many of David Gregory's illustrations will sound painfully familiar!

I love that we're getting back to parables. There are so many ways to convey God's message in the form Jesus used so often, stories that reflect the everyday lives of the target audience.
Gregory has done an amazing job of attracting a diverse audience and notice in mainstream media. I hope "The Next Level" provides an even larger audience to read about the walk with God.
