In Douglas Wilsons, book Five Cities that Ruled the World. He briefly discusses the history and impact of five majestic cities: Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London and New York. In addition, he introduces us to their nation’s history and the world during the time that the city ruled. I enjoyed reading this book. Besides from liking history it was easy to read and understand and at times mildly humorous. As with any other good book it should make you think and this one made me think about how the five cities shaped our current world. It covers a lot of ground in 200 pages so do not expect a lot of in depth information. This is great for those who enjoy history and want something that will not take a lot of time to read. When reading history it should remind us that God is sovereign over all things and this book precisely did that.
