City on our knees

City On Our Knees

a book review

written by Rachel S

City On Our Knees, by Tobymac, coauthored by Todd Hafer and Rick Killian,is a compilation of stories about people stepping out of their comfort zones and doing something for God. Stories range from a girl who had cancer and started raising funds for research, to the story of an American in the Haiti earthquake trapped under the rubble.

Not only are there recent stories but also stories of heroes of the faith in past centuries such as George Muller and John Wesley. The book is sprinkled with inspiring quotes and Bible verses along with excerpts from Tobymac. The story that jumped out at me the most was the story of one of Hitler's youth, Hans Scholl, who gave a white rose to a Jewish girl in a concentration camp to show his kindness. I'd suggest this book for 14 year olds and up.

I rate this book 5 stars out of 5

book review

by

Rachel S

The End of the Age, a novel by Pat Robertson, starts with a flaming asteroid from space coming to earth destroying California. It gets worse from there with earthquakes, volcanic ash, flooding and inflation. America needs a leader and President Mark Beaulieu steps up talking about unity and peace. People love him, except for a few Jews and Christians. He is the Antichrist.

Pat's novel writing style seems poorly developed. Important events come across to the reader as insignificant because he doesn't focus on them. For example, in a few lines he tells of a person breaking his neck over a wire and dying instantly and then its over.  Horrific flooding in Venice causes dams to break but is hardly noticed by the reader.  The whole event is glossed over. Also, it's difficult to follow the time that passes in Robertson's writing. Time isn't very consistent.  Whole years may elapse in just paragraphs while other events are given pages of detail. I lost track of how many years actually did pass.

While Pat had good ideas to convey about the end of the world coming, the story line was poorly developed and  some parts of his book  read more like a newspaper than a novel. The characters that populate this story are flat and stereotypical. But, I have to admit, I couldn't put this book down very easily. It's still a thrilling read for 13 year olds and up.

I rate it 2 out of 5 stars.
