Tombstones and Banana Trees:
A True Story of Revolutionary Forgiveness

By Medad Birungi (David C. Cook)

Medad Birungi started World Shine Ministries to help orphans, widows, and children and women in violent homes in Uganda—people experiencing extreme poverty and other hardships similar to what he endured as a child and young adult in that African nation. 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.
