Book Club

I had the opportunity to hear the most amazing speaker yesterday. Her name is Immaculee Ilibagiza and she is a survivor of the Rwandan Holocaust. She spoke about her horrific experience and how she really discovered God in the midst of her tragedy. She was in hiding for 90 days with 7 other women in a 3x4 foot bathroom and during this time her whole family- parents, sibilings, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins- were killed. She wrote a book called Left to Tell that talks about her struggles with God in that little bathroom and all about forgiveness. I haven't read it yet, but have ordered it and am planning to read it soon. Based on her speaking, I think it is going to be such an inspirational book. She was also the focus of a recent PBS special. Check it out here>
