review 1: I have some association with people who have survived the genocides in Rwanda, so this book was of particular interest to me. The horror of genocide is obvious throughout this book. It is a difficult book to read and realize what humans can do to each other. By about 3/4 of the way through the book I had read enough. What is great about this book is the insights into culture and the strength one can draw from God in the midst of horrific tragedy.
review 2: This was an amazing book of hope. I liked this quote on p. 15, "No matter what your current circumstances may be or what trials you face today, I am living proof that God can take a shattered life and breathe new life into a broken heart. My hope for you is that as you read my story, you experience healing... more from past hurts in your own life and find God as your source of comfort. No one has to live as a victim. Whether you have to face the scars of abuse, have lost loved ones, or have physical or emotional pain every day, God sees you and has not forgotten you. He is waiting for you to reach out to him and answer the call that is on your life. I humbly offer my story to you so that you too might be convinced that the power of God is at work, even in the darkest of worlds." less
