Segatashya was a pagan boy in a small village in Rwanda. One day Jesus appeared to him and gave him a message to share with the world. He believed the apparition and began to share his message. He traveled to other countries to let others know of the message entrusted to him by Jesus and the Virgin Mary. In 1994 he was murdered in the horrific genocide in Rwanda. Immaculee, who had the privilege of meeting him, shares his story with the world.
Segatashya’s story was not one that I would have picked up in a book store because I would have leafed through the book first and seen references to the Virgin Mary and her appearances to him. I do not endorse the Roman Catholic beliefs in Mary. I read this book mainly to see if Jesus had appeared to the little boy in a small African village. Apparently the Roman Catholic church has or is investigating his story to see if the visitations of Jesus and Mary were true. However real they might have seemed to him and to others, I doubt the veracity of them. However, I did appreciate his simple belief in what he “heard” from Jesus and Mary. He obeyed what they told him and left his family and small village to do what they asked, which is a good reminder to me to obey what the Scriptures say, no matter the cost. I received a free copy of this e-book from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.
