This book is written as a series of stories of what happened after Immaculee's escape. They came through to me as experiences of forgiveness. Very few readers will ever have as much to forgive as she did, but we all have some. No one can tell you how to do it; she shows us by story. I found this book highly significant.

This is the second book by Immaculee that I have read. I am amazed by her faith.

Immaculee Ilibagiza's story is a testimony to the power and importance of faith and to the ability to change the world through forgiveness and prayer. Her first book, Left to Tell, was at once awful and great. The story of man's inhumanity to man was almost too difficult to read - yet, it was impossible for me to put the book down. This second story - Led by Faith - takes the reader to the next chapter of Immaculee's life and demonstrates the ongoing struggle necessary for life to go on after so much death.

This was an amazing story of trust and faith in God. We can all see God working in our lives every day if we just pay attention. I highly recommend this book to everyone even if you haven't read Immaculee Ilibagiza's other books. She is a wonderful example of faith.

I have a hard time with the message of Immaculees book LEFT TO TELL:

The message of the book seems to be: If you believe in God and pray hard, He will save you.

In the beginning Immaculee returns to her family home. Her brother warns: We have to cross the Lake and Flee Rwanda; otherwise we will all be killed! What answers Immaculee? She says: NO, God will not allow that and persuades the family to stay. She does her part in having her family killed. Would she have supported her brother, she might at least have saved her family. Her blind faith in God proved to be her family`s downfall.

While the Hutus threaten and kill Tutsis in her village, she flees to hide. She does NOT stay with her family. She hides. I do not blame her for that, we are human, we do not want to die, but what is so saintly about that? Where is her belief in God there? Then the teacher who offers her a hiding place tells her that her brother cannot stay in his house. The man is a Hutu and risks his life for her. She wakes her brother, tells him he has to leave and lets him go into the night. She is not solidary. She does not go with him. She hides and lets her brother go into his certain death. And blames the teacher for it.

Then she survives many attempts of Hutus to find and kill her and it seems she thinks she survives, because she prays so fervently.

Who does she think she is? Chosen by God? She prayed more fervently than thousands of others? And who is this God who saves her and has a million of others brutally killed? Do we want to pray and praise to a God like that? And now she gets famous with her books???

She does not convince me at all.

Very moving story about forgiveness and faith. People who refer to themselves as Christians
should read this book.

From the time Immaculee began working at the UN in the capitol of Rwanda, Kigali, God made miraculous provisions for her. Whether it was people who ministered to her needs or food for the orphan children, Immaculee believed God.
Her story of forgiveness and faith continues in Led By Faith. She puts most of us to shame by her sheer determination to see God provide for her daily needs.
An exceptional "part two" to her story that continues where Left to Tell left off. A must read.

i am very satisfied with my experience. book recieved promptly and in the condition i expected. would purchase from this buyer again
