Sommaire:
The Rwandan genocide, where over a million people were killed in one hundred days in 1994, looms as one of the great atrocities of our generation. The apathy and inaction of the West was inexcusable. Even more horrible was the complicity of many in the Rwandan church. In the eyes of many, God became weak and lost. And evil, personified by Satan, seemed to become more powerful than God. If God appeared absent during the genocide, He is ever present and active in the healing taking place in Rwanda at this time. This is a book of action outlining what God wants to do now in Rwanda and what we can do to be a part of these initiatives. This book will be of interest to those asking questions about the power of evil and how the traumatized and emotionally damaged can find healing. This book is a window into the hellish slaughter of human life while offering guidance to churches, groups, and individuals bold enough to tackle the difficult situations of life. "Christ Walks Where Evil Reigned" is a personal, first-hand journey of the hell, trauma, forgiveness, and redemption experienced during the Rwandan genocide.
