I had no idea who TobyMac was.  I do not generally follow main stream Christian music.  I thought he was some pop rap artist.  I was mistaken.  I have since heard a number of his songs and have listened to them on YouTube.  Here’s the one that the book is based on:

 

 

 

 

Now, I like the message – get out there and get out of your comfort zone and do something for God.  I think the message is extremely important.  I am glad that he wrote the song and the book!  That being said, I am not one to sit and read, and enjoy “feel good” stories, or heart warming, inspirational tales – true or legend.

 

For me, the book didn’t speak my language, so to speak.  But I loved the mix that was included – stories from across the centuries!  I loved the history the book provided.  I even learned a little, although I like to get my history a little differently.  Maybe it was timing, and that my thoughts and research section of my brain are focussed on other topics.

 

Overall, I think City on our Knees is a great book.  It just wasn’t something I enjoyed.
