MAITLAND, FL— Within the pages of Theo Makombe’s new book, The Race for Life: Memoirs of a Rwandan Genocide survivor ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-62419-196-1; $7.99, e-book, 978-1-62419-197-8) is a first-hand account of a survivor of the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. This rare account will change the reader forever. The author’s mission in writing this book is to give the highest degree of encouragement to all those who are confronted with the trials of life.

“[This book] is shocking and life altering,” states the author. “It is the first hand account of the atrocities committed by everyday men and women under the influence of brainwashing. Our hope is that, from reading our book, readers will get a greater understanding of God's desire and ability to bring them out of trials and help them to achieve total victory.”

Theo Makombe was one of only 300 survivors, out of 5000, from his village. He experienced a side of the genocide that many, even in the country, were unaware of. His eyewitness account is raw and honest. Having lived in several different countries and having served extensively on the mission field has given Theo a broad worldview and an understanding of the differing perspectives of men.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Communications, is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 8,000 titles published to date.
