Book Review of Left To Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust

reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


This book is fabulous! Immaculee's description of her life prior to, during, and after the Rwandan genocide is very honest and matter-of-fact. She does not sugar coat anything, but neither does she resort to melodrama. It was a book that I couldn't put down, as our slightly burned dinner the day that I read it can attest :-) I was able to read it in one day, so it was a quick read.

I was inspired by her complete focus on God during the whole ordeal, and her ability to forgive so quickly and completely. If you are struggling to forgive someone, reading this book will help you to put things into perspective.
