Saving Zimbabwe is the gripping story of a group of extraordinary black and white Zimbabweans who lived together forming 'The Community of Reconciliation'. They chose love over hate and integration over segregation. They believed in harmony over discord and that loving your former enemies was a higher way of life. Against all odds they succeeded in transforming a region of the nation inot a life-giving community. By example they demonstrated that the course of Zimbabwe could be changed, and provided a working model for the road ahead.
A harrowing account of people martyred for their faith. Some interesting insights, especially the history of the church in Zimbabwe. However there was too much repetition for my liking. The book. Is also divided into 2 sections and they did not sit well together within the same publication in my opinion.
I thought I was going to be reading a book about world-changers who were martyred for their faith and radical lifestyle of racial reconciliation in Zimbabwe. Saving Zimbabwe was this and so much more. Scott relates the story of his friends and their motivation for a model of reconciliation in a hate-filled country but he also gives background into what brought the country to this place and what has happened since. He ends with ideas for what could bring change in their land - and every land.
