Having survived the Rwandan Genocide, Pastor Christine Uwizera Coleman is now making a difference as the President of the Movement for the Republic and Democracy, a movement she describes as an all-Rwandan effort to oust dictator Kagame. Coleman, who grew up in Rwanda, endured the harrowing experiences of the Rwandan Genocide, a tragedy that claimed the lives of her family. Since 1994, Paul Kagame has held office in Rwanda, maintaining his role as a dictator and being complicit in the genocide. Fortunately, Coleman’s life took a significant turn when she received assistance from a member of a non-governmental organization active during the genocide. This intervention enabled her to enter the United States legally. Amidst these personal upheavals, a new conflict is emerging, with a war breaking out between Rwanda and the Congo, adding another layer of complexity to the region’s turbulent history. Listen to the full story in the first hour.

Kim Monson's Quote of the Day:

Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny.

C.S. Lewis Kim Monson Show

C.S. Lewis, born in Belfast, Ireland, in 1898, was a prolific writer, best known for his “Chronicles of Narnia” fantasy series and his work on Christian apologetics. An Oxford and later Cambridge scholar, Lewis served in World War I before embarking on his academic career. His early work focused on medieval and Renaissance literature, reflecting his deep interest in Christian themes and the human experience.

Lewis’s conversion to Christianity in 1931 profoundly influenced his writing. His apologetic works, like “Mere Christianity,” “The Problem of Pain,” and “Miracles,” explore and defend Christian beliefs, blending intellectual rigor with clear, accessible language. However, it’s “The Chronicles of Narnia,” a seven-book series imbued with Christian allegory, that remains his most enduring legacy, enchanting millions with its imaginative world and moral lessons.

Lewis’s impact extends beyond literature into broader cultural and religious discourse, making him one of the most influential Christian writers of the 20th century. He died in 1963, leaving a lasting legacy in both fantasy literature and Christian apologetics.
