06/20/2025

While at Dallas Seminary, David wrote a novella called 'Dinner with a Perfect Stranger.'  It’s a story about Jesus having dinner at a restaurant with a modern-day skeptic.  He printed some copies just to have on hand.  Miraculously, God put it in the hands of a major publisher and turned it into a bestseller.   An independent film producer, Jefferson Moore, made a movie of it, which millions have seen.  He wrote two sequels, and Jefferson made two more movies.
