Club Revelation

By Allan Appel

Book Overview

A timely, funny novel about attempts to convert Jews to Christianity in New York City.

Appel's hilarious novel follows three interfaith Jewish/Christian couples who unwittingly rent the ground floor of their brownstone to a charming Southern evangelist. Serving his own blend of Christian cuisine, he opens a restaurant in the space, hoping to convert the Jews of the Upper West Side. His scheme destroys the harmony of the building when one of his six landlords finds comfort in the preacher's conversion-by-gastronomy methods. Appel's mix of comedy and theology conjoin effortlessly in an entertaining, fast, and funny story which reevaluates our meanings of faith and marriage in twenty-first century America.

A FUN BOOK TO READ

I AGREE WITH PAUL THAT THE CHARACTERS WERE FUN TO READ ABOUT AND THERE WAS A DEEPER MEANING TO THE BOOK. WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO OTHERS

The Big and the Little

Some books I love because the characters are fun and the situations so novel, I can't put the books down. Other books I love because the writer, through the story, taps into Big Questions of life, that make me question my own existence. THis book did both. It was a rollercoaster ride.
