The centuries&ndash;old battle between Hutu and Tutsi tribes had come to Gilbert's school. Fueled by hatred, the Hutus forced more than a hundred Tutsi children and teachers into a small room and used machetes to beat most of them to death. The unfortunate ones who survived the beating were doused with gasoline and set on fire. After hiding under burning bodies for over eight hours, Gilbert heard a voice inside saying, "You will be all right; you will survive." He knows it was God speaking to him. Gilbert was the lone survivor of the genocide, and thanks his enduring faith in God for his survival. </P><P> Today, having forgiven his enemies and moved forward with his life, he is a world&ndash;class athlete, running coach and celebrity in his new hometown of Austin, Texas. The road to this point has been a tough one, but Gilbert uses his survival instincts to spur him on to the goal of qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Summer Games. THIS VOICE IN MY HEART will portray not only the horrific event itself, but will be a catalyst for people to understand real forgiveness and the gift of faith in God.</P> 526439 2006 This Voice in My Heart: A Runner's Memoir of Genocide, Faith, and Forgiveness total:87|5:24|4:43|3:15|2:5|1:0| 87 347 143 28 4 1 false false Sat Nov 15 13:27:26 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 15 15:50:33 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Oct 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 17:11:15 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 17:14:49 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Apr 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 08:34:28 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 10:15:47 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Nov 12 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Aug 20 09:33:05 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 18 06:01:17 -0700 2008
