Publisher's Description
In 1994, as his country descended into the madness of genocide, Anglican Bishop John Rucyahana underwent the mind-numbing pain of having members of his church and family butchered. John refused to become a part of the systemic hatred. He founded the Sonrise orphanage and school for children orphaned in the genocide, and he now leads reconciliation efforts between his own Tutsi people, the victims of this horrific massacre, and the perpetrators, the Hutus. His remarkable story is one that demands to be told.

“I dedicate this book to my late parents, John B. Kabango and Veredian K. Karwera. Their love and encouragement never ceased and guided me even after they both died in exile. Their love remains an inspiration and a challenge to serve those in need. I also dedicate this book to the many Rwandan people who perished in terrible conditions while in exile—after being deprived of their national rights. And most of all, to all who perished in 1990–1994 during the genocide.”
“This book is dedicated to my good friend, Gary Reynolds, and the men of my weekly prayer group—Wayne Kendall, Drew Horn, and David Spargur—all of whom have been there for me countless times over the years.”
