Reviews

[Kaitlyn Pindak · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the biography of the beautiful message and life of Bishop Festo Kivengere, who preached on the power of Christ’s love to transform lives, forgive and reconcile, in the midst of terror and persecution against the rise of Christianity in Uganda during the presidency of Idi Amin, who hated Christians and was determined to wipe out anyone who might overpower him. Bishop Festo was unashamed and unafraid to share the gospel and to forgive those who had murdered many that he loved and who loved the Lord and he knew the gospel could change their hearts, too.
