Book Reviews of Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust

Book Review: An inspiration for the ordinary woman
Summary: 5 Stars

I pray a lot. Sometimes I think myself a little strange that praying has become such a constant. Immaculee Ilibagiza raises daily prayer to new heights and inspires/enhances belief that prayer really can save one's life--and sanity. The Rwandan holocaust was merely a story in the news magazines until I read this book. The hysteria and general craziness is brought home in this uniquely personal account of what happens in a society gone tragically awry. A must-read for anyone who wonders, "What would I do, if..."

Summary of Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust

Immaculee Ilibagiza grew up in a country she loved, surrounded by a family she cherished. But in 1994 her idyllic world was ripped apart as Rwanda descended into a bloody genocide. Immaculee's family was brutally murdered during a killing spree that lasted three months and claimed the lives of nearly a million Rwandans.

Incredibly, Immaculee survived the slaughter. For 91 days, she and seven other women huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor while hundreds of machete-wielding killers hunted for them.?

It was during those endless hours of unspeakable terror that Immaculee discovered the power of prayer, eventually shedding her fear of death and forging a profound and lasting relationship with God. She emerged from her bathroom hideout having discovered the meaning of truly unconditional love-a love so strong she was able seek out and forgive her family's killers.
The triumphant story of this remarkable young woman's journey through the darkness of genocide will inspire anyone whose life has been touched by fear, suffering, and loss.
