Opis

Just as Anne Frank sought decency and hope during the Holocaust, memoirist Aline Umugwaneza sought grace and found faith during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. In From Tragedy to Triumph: Even Your Heart's Wounds Can Be Healed, she shares her experience and how she was led to better understand her relationship with God in the utter devastation of a vicious civil war. Further, she shows readers how she was later able to forgive her transgressors. As a seventeen-year-old girl on the run with her siblings, she suffered torture and her family was later killed. With chapter titles such as, "The Beginning of Overwhelming Suffering," "When My Whole Family Nearly Became Extinct," "Jesus, A Friend of the Lost People" and "Forgiveness and Reconciliation," she shows that to forgive is truly divine and that if it were not for the power of God, there is no way she would have survived the very cruelest of man's atrocities.
