Book Blogging!

This is turning into a book blog! But I must again share a wonderful book that I just finished. Yet again, one that is filled with perseverance and faith, my favorite combination in literature.

Louis Zamperini was an olympic runner who was believed to have the ability to be the first to break the 4:00 mile barrier. He clocked his fastest time, 4:08, before he went to fight in WWII. In the war, he became a POW in Japan after being stranded in a raft at sea for 47 days. He endured over 2 years of torment in the internment camps. After the war, he lost himself in horrific memories from the camps, but was saved by faith.

It was a shocking, but absolutely beautiful story. I love survival stories and ones about faith. I highly recommend it!
