Product Description

The powerful sequel to the moving book The Tears of My Soul, After the Heavy Rain chronicles the life of Sokreaksa Himm after the Cambodian killing fields and examines his amazing ability to forgive.


From the back cover of the book

Thirteen of Reaksa Himm's immediate family, including his parents, were brutally executed by Cambodia's Khmer Rouge. Severely wounded, Reaksa was hisdden by the bodies of his family.

He struggled free, and ultimately made his way to Canada. He found faith in Christ, but for years wrestled with bitterness, hatred and a desire for vengeance - in Cambodia revenge is a matter of honour.

After the Heavy Rain describes how Reaksa discovered what it truly means to forgive. He tracked down his family's killers one by one, embraced them, gave them a friendship scarf and presented each with a Bible. But that was only the beginning...


"A painful story that faces up to the ugliest realities of our world - and meets them with the astonishing hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

—Hugh Palmer


"Truly inspirational! Read this book to see the importance of forgiveness, and to have your faith affirmed."

—Ray Johnston


"The author demonstrates that love will triumph over hatred, forgiveness is stronger than vengeance, and mercy does swallow up injustice."

—Jonathan J. Bonk


"Must be read by anyone who harbours bitterness or anger...there is still much for me to learn from Sokreaksa about forgiveness."

—William Wan
