See the City: Hope for the Bruised, Battered, and Broken-Hearted : 9781737094418

In See the City, author David Joannes unearths the one-of-a-kind hope meant for everyone-a hope that will encourage you to fix your eyes on the city of God and focus your attention on the God of that city.

Inspired by a ten-year-old refugee girl in Myanmar named White Flower, this nonfiction book points to the grace of God that restores all who are bruised, battered, and broken-hearted.

Richard Blackaby, author of Experiencing God (which sold 7 million copies), says in the foreword, "See the City is a beacon of hope in an increasingly complex and challenging world. David Joannes masterfully unpacks the truth that we are all travelers, taking the arduous journey through a beautiful but broken-down world, longing to one day enter God's joy-filled, eternal kingdom. This book is a timely reminder of the hope we have in Christ and the incredible future that awaits us."

Taking cues from Saint Augustine's 1,500-year-old classic, The City of God, David paints a portrait of two realms: the city of man destined to pass away and the city of God, a kingdom that stands the test of time.

Here's how the book is laid out:

1. A City That Will Pass Away
2. A City That Lasts Forever
3. Two Cities Entwined

These three sections give you a taste of abundant life on Earth and help you grow in your anticipation for Heaven.
