Interview: As We Forgive: Stories of Reconciliation from Rwanda

Dan Cruver has a two part interview this week with Catherine Claire Larson, author of the new book, As We Forgive: Stories of Reconciliation from Rwanda.

Here is his description:
As We Forgive is really a book about the collision of two life-changing historical events: the Rwandan genocide and the death of Jesus. The former brought Rwanda unspeakable violence and death. The latter continues to bring this same country, once devastated by genocide, breathtaking forgiveness and life. Catherine Claire Larson’s book As We Forgive: Stories of Reconciliation from Rwanda explores the Jesus-bought forgiveness and reconciliation that followed the release of 40,000 prisoners, many of whom had participated in the slaughtering of over 800,000 Rwandans. It is a remarkable and deeply moving book.
