Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Immaculée Ilibagiza
4.0
This book was a super fast, but difficult read. It was an interesting experience, because at times it felt like an out if body experience, almost as if I was outside my mind, watching myself read. It sounds crazy, but I couldn't deal with the associated emotions of such a horrific tragedy.
I loved her beautiful relationship with God, and her persistent hope. My favorite scene was when she forgave the man who murdered her mother and brother, and when asked why she forgave him she replied, "it was all I have to give." She is a shining example of being stripped down to the bare bones of human existence, having her family taken away, her home and possessions destroyed, her health and body compromised, and she can still be whole, because she forgave, and she maintained a relationship with God.
