Product Information
Growing up with a violent father in the country of Uganda in the 1960s, Medad Birungi faced physical and emotional pain that few people can imagine--yet today he speaks of a revolutionary forgiveness we all can experience. Once a boy who begged to die by the side of the road, once a teenager angry enough to kill, once a man broken and searching, today Medad is a testimony to God's transforming power. Through his story of healing, Medad calls readers to find healing from their own emotional scars. As Medad's remarkable journey shows, when people forgive each other, they are doing something truly radical. They are changing relationships, communities, countries. They are welcoming God into the corners of the human soul, where real revolution begins.

Reviews
"Maps, say the co-editors of this extraordinary new book, are a form of communication, a universal language that transcends speech and culture. They are intuitively understood to serve as a historical archive of nothing less than mankind''s progress in the world. And so, if you thought maps were merely aerial drawings of places that help us get from A to B, you will astonished by the depth and breadth of this book."Nick Smith, BBC Focus Magazine, "Maps, say the co-editors of this extraordinary new book, are a form of communication, a universal language that transcends speech and culture.

The variety, quantity, and quality of illustrations (189, all in color) is truly exceptional for a non-catalogue.

There are few introductory summaries for the history of cartography that are affordable, confined to a single volume and generally intellectually up-to-date. . . . This publication moves past a coffee-table book and would be an excellent introductory volume for an undergraduate or lifelong learning course in the history of cartography., "This well-illustrated, full-color book served as a companion to an exhibition of historical maps that depicted a widemixture of geographic settings, including the US.
