Living in the Shadow of Death: From a Child of War to an Ambassador of Christ: A true story of forgiveness, healing, and of finding God's purpose after being tortured to the point of death.

By Charity Cherise Okurut and Samuel Patrick Okurut

I have walked in Samuel's village, and have seen the mud hut that he helped to build as a toddler, I have seen the war camps, and I have even crawled through the tall grass with a camera, imagining what it was like to play "hide-and seek" when the enemy attacked. I have touched his scars, and in writing, I have vicariously lived this story, writing each page while imagining myself to be Samuel, and his story to be my own. This book will bring you through the joys of childhood in the simplicity of Ugandan village life, the traumas of war, and the struggles of life, that have molded Samuel into the Ambassador -the missionary - that he is today; a testimony of the profound healing that comes through forgiveness.In a torture chamber, back in 2002, Samuel promised that, if God would free him, he would share that testimony with the world. This book is a means to that end.
