Tombstones and Banana Trees: A True Story of Revolutionary Forgiveness
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Growing up with a violent father in the country of Uganda
in the 1960s, Medad Birungi faced physical and emotional pain that
few people can imagine––yet today he speaks of a revolutionary
forgiveness we all can experience.
Once a boy who begged to die by the side of the road, once a
teenager angry enough to kill, once a man broken and searching,
today Medad is a testimony to God’s transforming power. Through his
story of healing, Medad calls readers to find healing from their
own emotional scars. As Medad’s remarkable journey shows, when
people forgive each other, they are doing something truly radical.
They are changing relationships, communities, countries. They are
welcoming God into the corners of the human soul, where real
revolution begins.
From the Back Cover
“My story changed beyond all recognition.
Everything that was made ugly by pain and
anger
was turned to beauty by one simple, revolutionary
thing; forgiveness.”
Medad Birungi’s body is scarred with the abuses of a haunting
childhood--poverty, rejection, abandonment. Growing up with a
violent father in Uganda in the 1960s, Medad faced physical and
emotional pain that few of us can imagine. Yet today he speaks of
forgiveness that all of us can experience.
Once a boy who begged to die by the side of the road, once a
teenager angry enough to kill, once a man broken and searching,
today Medad is a testimony to God’s transforming power.
Through his story of healing, Medad calls you to find healing
for your own emotional scars. As Medad reminds us, when we forgive
others, we are doing something truly radical. We are changing
relationships, communities, countries. We are welcoming God into
the corners of the human soul, where real revolution begins.

Apart from Christ's forgiveness to an undeserving world, Rev. Birungi's story is the most powerful I've ever read about. After reading the book, I contacted his ministry in Uganda which resulted in him including our church on his tour of several churches in the US. I hope t see him again. The 1.99 you spend on this book will pay immense returns to your spiritual life. For one; you will never be able to justify holding a grudge against anyone for anything.
