"Left to Tell" Book Review

The separation of tribes in Rwanda was not just a physical one. It ran much deeper, and because of it, violence roared through once peaceful land. Immaculee, a Tutsi studying at university at the time, ended up in the middle of it. "Left to Tell" is the very deep, very personal, very true story of her experience facing the horrors and hardships of the Rwandan Holocaust, and her triumph because of her relationship with God. This is by far one of the most powerful books I have ever read. I didn't know much about the Rwandan Holocaust when I picked it up, but afterward, I felt like I had gone through it with her. Her descriptive language and heart-wrenching personal accounts pulled me in and caused me to feel deeply for her and her family. Her thoughts and description of her relationship with God inspired, and helped my own faith in God grow leaps and bounds. She is a remarkable example of faith, love, kindness, and forgiveness to us all. I highly recommend this book for everyone.
