Book excerpt: There is a new power today at work in the Christian church in Uganda. It is a power that can bear up under the unpredictable whims and the savage persecution of one of the most notorious dicators of our time, Idi Amin. It is a pwoer that answers threats with reason, torture with endurance, execution with love. It is the power of the living God, released as it has been released perhaps nowhere else on earth at the present time. Festo Kivengere, one of Uganda's ighteen Anglican bishops, documents the growth of this pwoer, tracing the steadily increasing confrontation between the Christian church and the government of Idi Amin. He gives an eyewitness account of the climax of that confrontation -- the assassination of Janani Luwum, the Anglican Archbishop of Uganda, on February 19, 1977. He relates his own flight from the country two days later under cover of darkness. I Love Idi Amin is the dramatic story of how God is using pain and suffering to build a new man and a new church for His glory. --
