What does a nameless city, an underground mall, two competing soul-food restaurants and a dark family secret have to do with the Bible’s message? Maybe nothing; unless you’re living in the City of Allegory where everything is immeasurably more than what it seems.
This is a tale of friendship and faith;loyalty and betrayal; love and loss—told in the style of Pilgrim’s Progress and The Chronicles of Narnia but with a modern urban twist.
In his second book, the two-time Grammy Nominated Christian rap artist/author Brady Goodwin, known for his creative concepts, word-play and storytelling, masterfully weaves theology, imagination, mystery and metaphor into a classic cautionary tale. Never before has curling up with a good book felt so much like curling up with The Good Book.
I loved this book! Definitely clear to the believer the different analogies as to what is taken place. But I love the ideal that it brings a remembrance to us who "knows" the word to see through a different lens!
A good debut novel for Brady Goodwin. A quick read, keep my attention wanted to know how the end would turn out. For most believers in Christ the allegories will be obvious but still a good story I thought.
