Hey, just read an awesome book! Left to Tell by Immaculée Ilibagiza is amazing. Those of you who know me know that God has put justice ministries on my heart and Rwanda is desperately in need of them. I would love someday to travel there and be a part of the healing from the genocide going on.
Anyway, this book is written by a Rwandan woman who hid with seven women in a bathroom - yes, in a bathroom, for three months while the Hutu majority set out to wipe the minority Tutsi population from the face of Rwanda. They were more than happy to kill moderate Hutus as well as anyone else who thought didn't adhere to their extremist views; although some Hutus did shelter Tutsi citizens from being slaughtered.
I warn you that this book is heartbreaking but it is as real as it gets. The really wonderful thing is the way she discovered God in so many different ways throughout her horrendous experience and drew closer to Him. This is well worth a read!
