After the Locusts is a powerful exploration of the importance and role of forgiveness in Rwanda after the genocide of 1994. Extremely readable and yet deeply convicting, this book is a practical analysis of what true forgiveness looks like, using the situation in Rwanda as a case study. As such, the book provides a valuable resource for anyone seeking strong biblical teaching on forgiveness, however much or little they know of the history of Rwanda.
Guillebaud firstly addresses the need to forgive and then looks at what forgiveness is and common misconceptions about what it is not, on both a personal and corporate level.
