As we forgive - Catherine Claire Larson

This is a powerful, emotional and faith stretching book - a brilliant read!

It is the true stories of seven survivors of the Rwandan genocide. The key issue is the reconciliation between victom and offender. Many of these offenders where neighbours to these people and landed up killing their families and children in the most gruesome ways.

The challenge is the message and example of Christian forgiveness presented in the book by these seven people who became followers of Jesus. I found myself hugely challenged and I'd highly recommend this read.
