God of This City: Greater Things Have Yet to Come
Aaron Boyd and Craig Borlase
Regal, 2010, 144 pp., $12.99
Imagine that you had the chance to sit down with the writer of an anthem that has defined the church in recent years and hear his heart. You may expect to hear someone about whom you need to take notes; but as this read shows, you just may end up dropping your pen and paying attention to what God is stirring inside of you.
As Aaron Boyd explains, true worship is what happens when a true stirring leads to a true set of actions. In confession, he admits that he hasn’t always thought this way or imagined that his band would become so tied to redemptive, biblical justice. Yet Boyd has come to realize God has shaken him at his core, and he must respond to something that intimidates him.
This is just what Christians who like to sing their songs instead of live them out need to hear.
