My Review
A collection of stories, prayers, profiles and insights serves as a call to action for God’s people to become active citizens making a difference in their communities and their world. Inspired by the song by Toby Mac “City On Our Knees.”
This book helps motivate people to act. Each part in this book is named after a line from TobyMac’s song CITY ON OUR KNEES. It has a assortment of stories about well known people in the church such as St. Patrick, Charles Spurgeon; also a story of a terminally ill 4-year-old girl who starts a lemonade stand to fight cancer, a 12-year-old boy that turns loose change into weapons against modern-day slavery. Many stories that tell how those that really make a difference in life really pray and care. You can’t sit back and do nothing.
City On Our Knees also has Bible verses and quotes from people to reflect as well as a Blog by TobyMac. The chapter ends with a one-minute remix and a prayer, very inspiring.
There are four different chapters in this book which contain stories that fit the following titles:
1. Step across the line
2. Out of the comfort zone... and into the light
3. We are family
4. Hope is just a prayer away
