It's the greatest story never told: that of a boy who met Jesus and
dared to ask Him all the questions that have consumed mankind since
the dawn of time. His name was Segatashya. He was a shepherd born into
a penniless and illiterate pagan family in the most remote region of
Rwanda. He never attended school, never saw a bible, and never set
foot in a church. Then one summer day in 1982 while the 15-year-old
was resting beneath a shade tree, Jesus Christ paid him a visit. Jesus
asked the startled young man if he'd be willing to go on a mission to
remind mankind how to live a life that leads to heaven. Segatashya
accepted the assignment on one condition: that Jesus answer all his
questions-and all the questions of those he met on his travels-about
faith, religion, the purpose of life, and the nature of heaven and
hell. Jesus agreed to the boy's terms, and Segatashya set off on what
would become one of the most miraculous journeys in modern history.
Although he was often accused of being a charlatan and beaten as a
result, Segatashya's innocent heart and powerful spiritual wisdom
quickly won over even the most cynical of critics. Soon, this teenage
boy who had never learned to read or write was discussing theology
with leading biblical scholars and advising pastors and priests of all
denominations. He became so famous in Rwanda that the Catholic Church
investigated his story. The doctors and psychiatrists who examined
Segatashya all agreed that they were witnessing a miracle. His words
and simple truths converted thousands of hearts and souls wherever he
went. Before his death during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Segatashya
continued his travels and conversations with Jesus for eight years,
asking Him what we all want to know: · Why were we created? · Why
must we suffer? · Why do bad things happen to good people? · When
will the world end? · Is there life after death? · How do we get to
Heaven? The answers to these and many other momentous, life-changing
questions are revealed in this riveting book, which is the first full
account of Segatashya's remarkable life story. Written with grace,
passion, and loving humor by Immaculée Ilibagiza, Segatashya's close
friend and a survivor of the Rwandan holocaust herself, this truly
inspirational work is certain to move you in profound ways. No matter
what your faith or religious beliefs, Segatashya's words will bring
you comfort and joy, and prepare your heart for this life . . . and
for life everlasting.
