Have you ever wondered what happened during the Rwandan holocaust or what could drive neighbors to slaughter neighbors? I have to endorse this book as one of the most spiritually riveting books I have ever read. It is real, it is unpretentious, and the true stories inside will lead you to the conclusion that evil and good exist, and forgiveness and strength are the only way. I wrote on my Facebook account after I finished, "Anyone who can read [it] without their heart exploding doesn't have a heart." Get it, suffer through her experiences, marvel at her faith. Feel in the end that life does have its choices (even in annihilation) and that we all have a purpose.
Get it here.
I was over at my parents' house, engulfed in the pages, and looked up to see my brother-in-law Jacob reading a book next to me. I said, "You have got to read Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza." He looked at me, paused, and turned his book around so I could see his cover. He was reading the exact same book! ...So unbelievable we had to take a picture!
It sounds amazing. I will definitely read it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't put it down either. It was an incredible story. I can't believe the horror.
ReplyDeleteBut it was more incredible because of the desire it instilled in me a greater desire to pray more and create a stronger relationship with God.
