On What My Kids Need Most
Posted in Family, Fatherhood, Prayer, Providence of God on August 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I recently came across a new blog that I am really enjoying: Unashamed Workman. One of the posts was on “‘leading’ in the context of the home as husband and father.” In it the author lists several resources which I have begun to slowly digest. One was a sermon by John Piper titled: Raising Children [...]
I’m in northern Georgia right now teaching at a retreat. I found a park bench in front of this brook a few hours ago and spent some time reading, relaxing, and avoiding large flying insects.

A friend of mine recently told me about a film maker in his church who was making a documentary about the reconciliation taking place in Rwanda. The movie, As We Forgive, has received several awards. Christianity Today and World Magazine recently wrote about the project. I am looking forward to seeing it.

My previous post got me thinking about the books I have read on the Genocide in Rwanda. Here is a list of the books in no particular order. I have also included some of the books that I hope to read in the future. If you were going to read one book I [...]
Redemption In Rwanda
Posted in Books, Forgiveness, Genocide, John Rucyahana, Uncategorized on August 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I recently read on the BBC website that Rwanda had indicated that 33 military and political leaders in France were complicit in the 1994 Genocide. France, of course, denies this.
