My wife read Laura Hillenbrand’s breathtaking, runaway best-seller Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption when it came out in 2010. What’s not captured in this title is that upon his return to America Louis Zamperini experienced the converting power of God’s grace, which gave him a supernatural ability to love his enemies, even the man who had tortured him. The book is fantastic (from what I’ve heard) and I hope to read it myself soon.
All the more so because this Christmas a major motion picture is being released (directed by Angelina Jolie). I hope the movie does not mute all aspects of this remarkable man’s Christian faith.
