Welcome

Perhaps you’re here because you’ve heard about a strange trend in Rwanda of survivors forgiving the people who killed their family members.

Perhaps you’re here because you are researching Rwanda’s genocide and you’re curious to learn about what’s happening today in this small African nation.

Perhaps you’re here because you’ve already been a part of the support team that has helped make my journey, investigation, and now the book possible.

Or perhaps you’re here because you’ve heard about the forthcoming book, As We Forgive: Stories of Reconciliation from Rwanda, or the film that inspired the book and you want to know more.

However, you stumbled upon this site, I want to welcome you to the website/blog for the book As We Forgive: Stories of Reconciliation from Rwanda by Catherine Claire Larson. 

Explore the tabs to find out more about the book, about me, about upcoming speaking engagements, and about the film that inspired my journey to Rwanda. Click here to read the introduction as well as the first chapter of my book. Click here to pre-order your copy, to be released February 1st from Zondervan publishers.

And check back, in the coming weeks and months I hope to share thoughts here on all things relating to forgiveness, reconciliation, Rwanda, restorative justice and other themes that I’ve explored in the book. I’ll look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions, and hopefully encouragement along the way!
