Please Don't Cut Off My Hands

Please Don't Cut Off My Hands presents the moving historical narrative of Rugarama, a twelve-year-old boy who stood firm during the persecution of early Christians in Uganda. Retold by Robert Kibuuka from Robert Ashe's classic nineteenth-century account, Two Kings of Uganda, this book preserves one of the most poignant episodes in the country's religious heritage.

The volume recounts the young martyr's courage, offering readers a direct and accessible connection to the events that shaped the church in Buganda and across modern Uganda. It provides students, church groups, and general readers with a focused historical reflection on faith, sacrifice, and the early days of Christianity in the nation.
