Left to Tell

left+to+tell.jpg


My rating: 5 of 5 (simple writing 'cause not in her first language)
Pages: 215 - Speed: Regular
Subject: Historical Biography, Christianity

This is the book I'm reading right now...it's mind blowing really, what humans are capable of doing to each other sometimes.
Have you ever wondered what happened during the Rwandan holocaust or what could drive neighbors to slaughter neighbors? I have to endorse this book as one of the most spiritually riveting books I have ever read. It is real, it is unpretentious, and the true stories inside will lead you to the conclusion that evil and good exist, and forgiveness and strength are the only way. I wrote on my Facebook account after I finished, "Anyone who can read [it] without their heart exploding doesn't have a heart." Get it, suffer through her experiences, marvel at her faith. Feel in the end that life does have its choices (even in annihilation) and that we all have a purpose.

(Thanks again Jen for the recommendation!)
