Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust
Left To Tell is a personal story of survival in the midst of the Rwandan holocaust. Immaculee Ilibagiza shares her nightmare of terror with the reader in a way that shows this killing frenzy could happen to people within any nation.
The prejudice between the Hutu and Tutsi people groups show that skin color isn't the only way man judges man. The spirit of death and murder walked hand in hand with hate as neighbor turned against neighbor and found a reason to machete and bludgeon one another to death. The stench of rotting bodies and blood ran throughout the villages as Immaculee realized the death of her loved ones even as she hid with seven other women for three months in a bathroom four feet long and three feet wide.
Insanity could have engulfed her at any moment if she had not chosen to take every thought captive and keep her mind occupied by prayer and thoughts of survival. When the chance to escape came after three months, her sheer determination caused all eight women to press through to safety.
Her story of forgiveness is just as riveting. The miracles God provided for her encouraged and kept her faith alive. Far from being overwhelmed by man's inhumanity to man, Immaculee's ordeal uplifts and inspires because of her ability to forgive and continue forgiving those who perpetrated the crimes against her.
Immaculee is a woman that has suffered and lost much but her willingness to bring her story of hope and healing one heart at a time is a story of love worth reading. You won't be disappointed.

So simply told; so profound and moving
It would seem impossible to imagine that anything good could come out of the Rwandan holocaust. And yet there is this book. And the shining, deep faith of the young woman who lived through it.
There were parts of the book that were difficult to read, such as what happened to her brothers, and to her mother and father. And things that happened that seem unbelievable...and yet were, clearly, the truth of what happened.
I wish I knew how the pastor who allowed Immaculee to stay in his bathroom now feels. There is a picture of Immaculee sitting with him. Does he agonize over making her brother leave? I hope Immaculee writes another book and catches us up with all the people she mentioned in this book.
How could the rest of the world have allowed this to happen? What can be done to stop such horrors from ever being done again? These are questions that everyone who reads the book will wonder about.
I cannot remember a book that moved me as much.

Very Inspiring.
A clear message of hope and faith in the worst of circumstances. I was afraid this book would be depressing but it was anything but. It was very uplifting i can't wait to read the sequel.

Great account, but too much God drivel
She has a very compelling history, but it is marred by religious arrogance -- a million slaughtered and she is spared by God to tell her story? She was lucky -- the end and that's enough. Despite the God mumbo-jumbo spirituality, the book held my attention as a first-hand witness to man at his most vicious and cruel.
