Here I go again, being Deep and Serious!

I read this book last year and wrote about it here on my Blog, but I want to tell you about it again.

If you want to read something that will inspire you. This book is so amazing. I first heard about this woman by the famous Dr. Wayne Dyer. http://www.drwaynedyer.com/about/

In 1994, a young woman, only 22 years old from Rwanda came home from college to spend Easter with her devout Catholic family.

Then the death of Rwanda's Hutu president sparked a three-month slaughter of nearly One million ethnic Tutsi people.

She survived by hiding in a Hutu pastor's tiny bathroom with seven other starving women for 91 cramped, terrifying days.
91 days in a tiny bathroom. Not speaking a word for 91 days. Almost discovered twice, with soliders only inches away from the hidden bathroom, she survived. During this time Immacule prayed a lot of the time and she did something amazing. She taught herself English.

She did not know why, but she knew that she would need to know English in the future. Her prayer and her belief in God is what got her through those horrible 91 days in hiding. She lost most of her body weight and was skin and bone when she finally emerged from that tiny room.

This searing firsthand account of Ilibagiza's experience cuts two ways: her description of the evil that was perpetrated, including the brutal murders of her family members, is soul-numbingly devastating, yet the story of her unquenchable faith and connection to God throughout the ordeal uplifts and inspires.

This book is a precious addition to the literature that tries to make sense of humankind's seemingly bottomless depravity and counterbalancing hope in an all-powerful, loving God.
