Product Description
Product Description
Frida witnessed her family being massacred by Hutu men with machetes and was then asked how she wanted to die. She could not afford a bullet, which they offered to sell her, so instead received what should have been a fatal blow to the head. She was put in a mass grave with her slaughtered family only to find herself still alive and conscious. She eventually climbed out of the pit covered in filth and blood. Frida's traumas would never be undone, but today this young woman has an important message for the world. This book tells the true, dramatic story of life amid the horror of genocide, but more importantly how Frida's life was utterly transformed by the power to forgive and love her enemies. Amazingly, in the midst of the traumas she found Christ. Her story is for all those who have gone through life shattering experiences and are unable to forgive, imprisoned by bitterness and distress. The message is one of immense hope and personal deliverance pointing towards the transforming power of forgiveness. She was chosen to die, yet destined to live -- the fruit of her transformation is expressed in Frida's present day work with the orphans of Rwanda.

I found this to be the most uncomfortable book that I have ever read. Frida's account of the slaughter of her family and the wider genocide are almost too harrowing to bare. And yet by the end this extraordinary and compelling book is so uplifting. Her account of finding Christ and her journey of faith is almost as wonderful as the slaughter was awful. What a joy to read of the forgivenenss and transformation in her life.
However, this book still remains uncomfortable to the end, it convicts. When Frida forgives so much - how can I struggle to forgive so very little?

A very well written boook it's gripping and makes you really look at your own life.
Strongly recomended this will give you a real insight into the genocide in Rwanda
You will understand the degree of hatred that man can go to with the persuasion of others.
