Left To Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust

Left To tell is about the Rwnada Holocaust in 1994 and how one man saved the lives of Immaculee 7 other woman.

The author and main person in this book is Immaculee Ilibagiza.  The story was one of courage and self-denial.  Immaculee hid inside a tiny hidden bathroom (with 7 other woman) for 90 days!   With the murderers just outside the bathroom they couldn't make a sound or move.  With limited room, food and water, they survived with God!

This book will encourage you that no matter the circumstances you can survive with God. I highly recommend anyone reading this book!

In the book she said “I spent hours contemplating the meaning of a single word, such as forgiveness, faith, or hope. I spent days with the word surrender, and came to understand what it meant to surrender one’s self to a Higher power. I gave myself over completely to God. When I wasn’t praying I felt that I was no longer in living in His light, and the world of the bathroom was too bleak to endure. “ pg 95
 I promise, once you read this book you will never look at your life the same again.
