About the Author
At age 11, Joshua Blahyi became the high priest of the entire Krahn tribe, a tribe given to violence and human sacrifice. In his late teens and early twenties, he was one of the most infamous and feared warlords in all of Africa leading an army of child soldiers in the Liberian Civil War. Today, after a road to Damascus type conversion experience, he is Evangelist and Pastor Joshua Blahyi, ministering to ex-combatants, former child soldiers, and other victims of this brutal civil war. He also ministers to thousands in crusades throughout West Africa and serves as a pastor in a local church in Monrovia, Liberia.
