1) Paperback Book Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Hay House. I´m just finishing this book and I am in awe of her faith, and her strength and those of her fellow occupants of this - smaller than any convicts cell - bathroom. Through the chronicles of history we hear this happening, and yet we did nothing in 1994 while a whole tribe of Tutsi´s were almost annihilated. What kind of blood lust has one human being going after another human being with such malice & hate? I have purchased the DVD. I have seen Hotel Rwanda - and - Sometimes in April (must see by all) and you feel the sorrow and the pain in knowing while you´re hiding, others are dying around you. Pastor M took a real chance hiding these women - his entire family was at risk. I know I could´ve had hidden her and the other women. What I don´t know is if I would´ve been strong enough to survive.
Genocide in any form is not to be tolerated - from 1915 genocide of the Armenians, in the 30´s the Aboriginal integration program in Austrailia (Rabbit Proof Fence) to the 40´s Hitler trying to wipe out the Jewish people, and yet the people of the world allowed this to happen in 1994.
I wonder - could any of us be strong enough to say "no - that´s not going to happen in my neighborhood" and hide your neighbor or strong enough if the shoe were on the other foot and we had to hide??¤

2) Paperback Book Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Hay House. An excellent book written with such human feelings I was amazed at the cruelty on one side and the love on the other!¤

3) Paperback Book Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Hay House. Amazing testament to living proof of the power of prayer and the blessings bestowed on Believers of the Holy Spirit. I was totally touched by Immacule´e Ilibagiza´s story of survival and witness to the horrific atrocities committed by people that she knew personally and by her willingness to forgive and love those who caused such crimes.¤

4) Paperback Book Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Hay House. In Left to Tell Imaculee Ilibagiza, a Rwandan holocaust survivor, recounts her story and attributes her survival to her strong faith in God. Most western Christian readers of this story are swept away in the miraculous aspects of Imaculee´s nearly 100 days of survival, most of which were in a tiny bathroom in a Protestant pastor´s house. What is overlooked is her very African emphasis on sacred objects for protection and an image of God which is more shaman than one who loves all humanity and grieves when we humans depart from his commandment to "Love on another." The imagine of her father with his rosary in one hand and his spear in the other is particularly striking. Thus, almost all Hutus in this story are depicted as untrustworthy or completely evil. Imaculee even portrays the pastor who at great risk to himself and his family saved her as jealous of her father and heartless when he cannot keep her brothers. Similarly, as she focuses on her survival as a proof of the power of faith, she fails to ask why so many many others who were likely just as faithful were killed. Imaculee does state that this is only her story and not an attempt to explain the causes of the Rwandan genocide, but certainly as a young university student she must have known more about the sources of the seething tensions between the Hutus and Tutsis. Imaculee gives her explanation of why she was left to tell the story of the 1994 genocide, but neglects to ask why 800,000 others, many of whom were Hutu, were not.

5) Paperback Book Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Hay House. It is unbelievable that people could kill so many people in such a gruesome fashion. It is even more unbelievable that Immaculee could forgive those killers. This book is about more than just the genocide, it is about the power and absolute necessity of forgiveness. Ultimately, the only one Immaculee could really escape the genocide was through forgiveness. Wonderful book.¤

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.
