Inspiring!
By Wayne E. Wright
This is an inspiring collection of oral histories of several Cambodian Americans who survived the Killing Fields of the Cambodian Genocide and who made a new life for themselves in the United States. Each shares memories and stories of miraculous survival, struggles in the refugee camps, challenges of adapting to a new life in the United States, stories of how they became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka, the "Mormon" church), and their testimonies of their faith in Jesus Christ.
Regardless of one's religious affiliation, these personal narratives are deeply moving and inspiring as they reveal the resiliency of the Cambodian people and provide us with a first-hand view of coping with and overcoming tragedy and rebuilding lives through faith and perseverance. Highly recommended!

By Deann Allen
I taught school and this terrible occupation was mentioned briefly in the history of the country. It was not until I read this book that I really understood about the terrible lives Cambodians suffered under the Communist rule. Very, thought provoking.
Product Description
During the time the Khmer Rouge communists ruled Cambodia, over a million people were tortured and killed. This book chronicles the miracles of several Cambodian refugees who found their way out of the killing fields and into the light and joy of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Inspirational and touching, this fascinating volume will fill you with awe.
