A couple of weeks ago I was channel surfing on TV, looking for ANY program that had some sort of value. I happened across a public television channel when I saw Dr. Wayne Dyer. His new book and lecture series is all about finding inspiration in your life. He shares with his readers and audience people who have inspired him, and his introduction of Immaculee Ilibagiza was so thought-provoking that I went out and bought her book. NEVER have I read a book that has been as thought-provoking and inspirational as this one!
The author, Immaculée, shares her story of how she survived during the Rwanda genocide in 1994 when she and seven other women were crowded together, in silence, in a tiny little bathroom of a local pastor's home for 91 days! Her story is not only captivating, but it also discusses the awesome power of prayer, building a lasting relationship with God and an incredible sense of forgiveness and unconditional love and understanding. Immaculée's ability to forgive those who so cruelly slaughtered her family, friends and neighbors is truly remarkable and certainly God-given!
If you have not yet read this book, you must get it! I found my copy at my local bookstore in the biography section. Please share your thoughts and comments about it too, by adding a comment to this post for others to read. Feel free to share personal thoughts, how the book or author inspired you, how reading it has helped others, etc. Books like this one should never sit on a shelf to collect dust. I hope to hear from you soon!
