Tombstones and Banana Trees:
A True Story of Revolutionary Forgiveness

By Medad Birungi (David C. Cook)

The pastor of an Anglican charismatic church, Birungi details his life experiences and how he learned the power of forgiveness in Tombstones and Banana Trees: A True Story of Revolutionary Forgiveness.
