Overview
Six. That was the number of people killed every minute of every hour of the day, for one hundred days. The dead lay there mutilated, raped, disfigured, and dismembered. They were strewn across the African countryside, piled up in empty churches, and thrown in the lakes and rivers. Alphonse and Thacienne had their dream life. They were in love, they had five children, and they pastored a great church in Rwanda's capital city of Kigali. But in 1994 it all came to a cataclysmic end as almost one million people were slaughtered in an eruption of violence that lasted three months. As Alphonse is trapped in his church fighting to stay alive, Thacienne embarks on a courageous journey to get her children to safety, holding hope that she will be reunited with her husband. Written by one of the survivors, We Were Royal Refugees is the gripping and heart-wrenching true story of the horror, loss, forgiveness, and triumph of a family in one of the worst tragedies in modern history, the Rwandan genocide.

Reviews
The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do? the Psalmist asked. In these pages you will journey with a household of faith through one of the heaviest moments of human history-- the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Chris Karuhije and his family escaped the slaughter that took over a million lives in 100 days of horror. When I interviewed him on national television in 2008, I expected an oppressive return to that atrocity. But like the author, this stirring testimony radiates Jesus! We weren't saved for nothing Chris boldly declared, on 100 Huntley Street. The book I knew he would write is right on-time with the troubled and uncertain world we are facing today. Royal encouragement awaits! --Moira Brown, co-host of 100 Huntley Street, Canada's longest daily talk show and one of Canada's top 100 Christian Women Leaders.
