Resumen del Editor

In 1994, Immaculee Ilibagiza's world was ripped apart when her native country of Rwanda descended into a bloody genocide. Her family was brutally murdered during a killing spree that lasted three months and claimed the lives of nearly a million Rwandans.

Miraculously, 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 forged a profound and lasting relationship with God.

The triumphant story of this remarkable woman's journey through the darkness of genocide will inspire anyone whose life has been touched by fear, suffering, and loss.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Ilibagiza's remarkable path to forgiving the perpetrators and releasing her anger is a beacon to others who have suffered injustice....This book is a precious addition to the literature that tries to make sense of humankind's seemingly bottomless depravity." (Publishers Weekly)

All I can say is BUT GOD!

What a POWERFUL display of God’s love, forgiveness and redemption. The Author was such an excellent storyteller. She drew me in from start to finish as though I walked through this journey with her. Though I could NEVER imagine the atrocity she experienced my heart pained when hers pained in the story and rejoiced when hers rejoiced. May God continue to bless her and her work.

An incredible story of faith & courage& testimony of God

Gave me hope in the power of God, His love for each of us and in our abilities to preserve in the midst of hardship. To the author thank you for teaching me courage, how to pray and hold on to faith and most especially how to forgive.

Inspiring

Amazing story! Enlightening on the Rwandan holocaust/genocide as well as spirituality challenging to the reader. If she can forgive ... why can’t I?

A remarkable and inspiring read, Highly recommend

I was gripped by this fascinating true story from the start. Harrowingly real and written in a way that you can feel Immaculee's feeling as if you was right beside her. and so many lessons to learn from this brave and courageous woman.

Highly recommended to all. And to Christians this book will inspire you to take a fresh look at your relationship with God and will both invigorate and inspire you to become a prayer warrior.

Heartbreaking, spiritual and Hope-filled

this was one of the most powerful books I have ever read! A testament to our Lord and savior and the power of His love! What an amazing woman and what a blessing for her to have been able to live in the Spirit through the turmoil and come out as a kind and forgiving woman!

Loved it! All my admiration!

This book is a lesson about what means to have a true faith, and how faith, family values and love can keep you alive.

True God, True Faith

A riviting account of how one young girl miraculously survived the evil, the very hell on earth of the 1994 Rwandan Holocaust. Her God-given, power-filled faith in the one living, true, and faithful GOD was tested, fortified,and purified by fire that would cause most to deny God and be disillusioned by hatred. Instead, HIS redeeming love for her yielded a life and heart that reflects HIS attributes of LOVE and FORGIVENESS, and HIS POWER and STRENGTH. She imbued new meaning into the faithful prayers of the righteous.

Required Reading for Citizens of the World!

Everyone who breathes air on earth should read this book. 2020 is revealing the same kind of hate that can fester anywhere. If you have perception this happened because they are savages, you are sadly mistaken. This was propagated and orchestrated by France and Belgium and power hungry political figures in their county. This can happen anywhere and Immaculee’s story will awaken your senses in ways you can’t imagine and her remarkable faith and wisdoms will effortlessly teach us how to live amongst this type of hatred, but also how to prevent it from happening elsewhere. It is ignorant to make judgements of Rwanda, this can happen anywhere and will happen again somewhere if we don’t learn from them. Be prepared for your life to change if you dare to open the pages of this book. It’s a must read!

Tragic and Heartfelt

I was recommended this book by a person who serves regularly in Rwanda and I was far from disappointed. I cried, even sobbed occasionally, listening to this woman's story but I'm so glad I was given the opportunity to hear it.

Everyone needs to hear this...

This story needs to be heard... not only for the history but for the hope that faith can provide. Read it or listen... but spend time with this story. Normally I'm a reader, but the performance of the narrator is outstanding... this is one to hear.
