“My story changed beyond all recognition. Everything that was made ugly by pain and anger was turned to beauty by one simple, revolutionary thing; forgiveness.”

Tombstones And Banana Trees is the story of Medad Birungi. Medad's body is scarred with the abuses of a haunting childhood--poverty, rejection, abandonment. Growing up with a violent father in Uganda in the 1960s, Medad faced physical and emotional pain that few of us can imagine. Yet today he speaks of forgiveness that all of us 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.

Reverend Medad Birungi is now a Bible teacher, university lecturer, pastor and the founder of World Shine Ministries, an organisation that seeks to evangelise, disciple and intercede in prayer in Uganda and all around the world. Medad is married with five children and lives in Uganda.

    This is indeed an amazing story of forgiveness. I learned so much from it. Medad's message is simple yet deep. It reminded me of my time in Congo. Tales of jiggers, kids wearing shoes made from banana leaves, witchcraft and curses, and hope springing up from tragedy are all part of my personal story. Thank you Medad for writing this awesome book. Everyone should read this. Unforgiveness is indeed like a festering sore or rubbish that's been left to rot. I can't wait for Medad's book. I'd love to read more about what life has been like for him recently.
