The next book club meeting is June 11. The book is Our Lady of Kibeho by Immaculee Ilibagiza. The paragraph below is from a book review done by Catholic Media Review.Anyone of the millions of readers of Immaculee Ilibagiza’s New York Times bestselling book, “Left to Tell” in which she relates the terrifying ordeal she endured, hiding in a tiny bathroom with 7 women, while the Rwandan genocide raged outside, is left with a burning question; where did she find the strength to endure those 90 days of torment? Her latest book, Our Lady of Kibeho is Immaculee’s answer to that question, as well as a personal account of the only Church- approved Marian apparition in Africa.
For the rest of the review see: http://catholicmediareview.blogspot.com/2009/03/our-lady-of-kiebeho.html

My wife and I have both read this book and highly recommend it. While many of us often look to unofficial Apparitions like Medjugorje, Our Lady of Kibeho is officially approved by the Holy See. If you have not heard anything about Rwanda or Immaculee Ilibagza, you can watch a two part online video of her at Renewal Ministries' web site (http://www.renewalministries.net/choices_tv_archive.php). Scroll about half-way down the page and look for "Left to Tell" and "Left to Tell II).
