Left to Tell

[Stan]

An AMAZING story.

A Rwandan survivor, hidden for weeks in a bathroom with 6 other girls, standing room only. Dropped from 115 pounds to 65 pounds (maybe 75).

Could hear her hunters desire to kill her like they killed her family.

An amazing story of survival, desperation, hopelessness and forgiveness.

As i read this, I thought how we complain and fight trivial meaningless problems.

Book Description

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.

This is Immaculee’s first book.

Rwanda is one of the tragidities that shows us how cruel one man can be to another. It shows us just a glimpse of the devil's charachter.
