Louis Zamparini Redeemed

Unbroken: a World Warr II story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand is a story that captivates one as it pulls you deeper and deeper into the live of Louis Zamperini.  Zamperini is a young track star who has his sites set on the Olympics when a war enters his world that would forever change him.  Bombs drop, planes crash, lifeboats, sharks, and God make for a remarkable encounter with Louis Zamperini.  Hillenbrand is the bestselling author of Seabisuit: an American Legend.  

I am about a third of the way through Unbroken and can't wait to pick it up again to find out how Louis is fairing. A good read.  I love history, especially survival storys.

Zamperini has written his own story as well in Devil at My Heels.  Louis attended one of Billy Graham's early revival meetings were he trusted Jesus Christ as his savior.  He became a speaker and returned to the part of the world were he fought in WWII, Japan to confront and forgive his captors while a POW. Those who like history and the call of God on a persons live will most certainly enjoy this narative.
