Last week's Top Ten Tuesday was settings you'd like to see more of and Africa came up frequently. Here is a true story about an American and his family in Rwanda before, during and after the 1994 Genocide. I have met the Bennett family and am looking forward to reading this book.
Book Description on Amazon:
Faith Through Fire is the inspirational story of people living out the faith that Christians profess, under some of the most difficult conditions imaginable.
It is the true story of the main protaganist's experiences living out his faith before, during, and after the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda. It is a compelling story that is beautifully told.
If you are looking for inspiration or a way to challenge your faith then this story is a must read!
The story is also about his Rwanda team during one of the most intensive killing campaigns in the history of the world! These are real people who, because of their love and understanding of who God is, acted decisively and heroically, with actions that saved lives. After the Genocide they went back. At great price they went back. Even after the death of his beloved wife, my brother still went back...
The world is in need of real stories of seemingly insignificant people from what seem like insignificant places who do extraordinary things by the power of faith in an extraordinary God. If you're not a person of faith, the story alone will grab you. If you are, you will be encouraged to stand strong even when things do not go the way you thought they should.
