Saved Through Fire: A Family Experiences Kenya's War of Independence Paperback – January 13, 2005 

by Mary Nyambura Muchiri (Author) 

The colonial experience in Kenya has been documented in many places, but most often it is about the colonial administrators and the politicians, rarely has this documentation been about ordinary people and the dilemmas they faced. This book is mainly about our family and our experiences of the war of independence. It portrays individual and family dilemmas, thus giving the experience concrete faces. Normal human relationships between husband and wife, father and child and neighbor with neighbor are explored. The overriding theme throughout the book is the love and mercy of God as it works out in the lives of ordinary people. Every reader will find something to think about whether familiar with the situation or not.
