Compelling story
Published by Denise , 4 months ago
This tells the story of Imaculee Ilibagiza, what she endured during the Rwandan genocide that killed one million souls, how her faith in God got her through it and how she came to forgive those who killed her family. It's a testament to what faith in God teaches and how forgiveness brings healing.
A very fast read!

This book was very moving & I loved this book a lot!! I have two of Immaculee's other books (Led By Faith & the Our Lady of Kibeho one, which I also highly recommend!) and this one is just as grand as the others. I totally recommend this book. It's an easy read but something that also makes you stop and think....

A Book The Entire Planet Should Read!!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I was up until 2:30 in the morning because I could not put this book down... well except for the times that I was sobbing for several minutes at a time. But even though this book is an unflinching account of the some most heinous brutality in world history, it is amazingly uplifting. Some one else's review discribed Immaculee as a Grace of God. And that she is. I'm not religious but I am spiritual, and even though Immaculee is a devout Catholic, her spiritual revelation transcends any religion. Her message of a love and forgiveness so vast it is nearly incomprehensible, points the way to the only way to recover from the mass insanity of the world today. Immaculee, thank you for sharing your story, thank you for how your book will make a difference in so many lives that will touch the world. I want to share this book with everyone I know. This is one of the most important books I've ever read. In my life. God Bless you Immaculee.
Harrowing but hopeful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This beautiful, but heartbreaking true story by Immaculee Ilibagiza brings a nation's horror right down to a personal level. So much of our world seems in an endless cycle of murder and revenge; Ilibagiza experienced unimaginable terror and personal loss, but emerged with a strong faith and a willingness to forgive. In sharing her story, she gives hope, not only to her torn nation, but to the whole world. This is one of the finest stories of this genre since THE HIDING PLACE by Corrie Ten Boom or THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK. This book is both timely in its relevance and timeless in its truth. It's well-written, but not an "easy" read. It's a book to ponder, to absorb, to weep with, and ultimately to learn from. Take this journey from despair to hope.
