Out of the Killing Fields-Into the Light: Interviews with Mormon Converts from Cambodia

When the Khmer Rouge seized Cambodia in 1975, nearly two million people perished in the Killing Fields. A precious few survivors escaped through jungles and refugee camps to build new lives in America. This moving collection gathers the firsthand accounts of twelve Cambodian refugees who ultimately found The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their stories of unimaginable suffering, miraculous deliverance, and spiritual rebirth testify to God's mercy, the healing power of the Atonement, and the triumph of forgiveness over hatred.

• Twelve survivors of one of the 20th century's worst genocides tell how they found peace and faith.
• Raw firsthand accounts of the Killing Fields—starvation, slavery, land mines—and the miracles that brought survivors out.
• A powerful testimony of forgiveness: converts who learned to sit beside former Khmer Rouge soldiers as 'brothers and sisters.'
• Completed as a mother's dying wish—oral histories preserved by her son.

Perfect for an LDS adult who loves conversion and testimony stories and is interested in refugee survival narratives and God's hand in history.
