Amazing true story wil touch your heart

A nearly unbelievable story of faith and perseverance in the worst situation possible. Immaculee is a brave young woman who knows that loving God is the most important reason for living. Her faith is astounding.

AN INSPIRING REALITY CHECK!

This book will (or should) make one re-examine the priorities of their life.
I heard about this book about 3am one day will turning the channel from PBS asking for donations. Just as I was about to turn it off Immaculee was introduced. As she talked about her experience I knew I had to read her book.
I cried as I read about neighbors turning against each other, and actually imagined how scary it would be to hide for your life only to come out and find that the majority of your loved ones are dead.
Still I was very inspired by her faith and ability to FORGIVE the murderers of her family.
Someday I hope to meet her, and to thank her for putting her story into print; meanwhile I'm still in a reflective state.

Left To Tell

I read this book in a couple of days. I think it is the best book I have read in my life. I bought 7 copies and passed it out to some of my friends and family. This true story will show anyone that there is no hopeless situation in life. God does not abandon anyone.

Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust

I would definitely recommend this book to my friends. It is a true story of belief and trust in God living in extreme dark, difficult and frightenting times.

"moving story"

Because of the book we went to Rwanda and to Kibuye. Rwanda has made a huge impression on us. For a lot of people Rwanda is only a synonymous for the 1994 genocide and still many believe it is a country unsafe to travel due to the war. But Rwanda is so much more. I will not dwell too much into a genocide discussion, as it is something that we foreigners can not understand in all painful details, though sometimes is so easy to judge. But Immaculee is trying to explain what happened and what Rwandan people have gone through.

I will definitely pass this book onto many.

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.
