A few weeks ago Kathy and I rented the movie Unbroken, the true story of Louis Zamperini based on the bestselling book by Laura Hillenbrand. It wasn’t easy to watch, but nevertheless very inspiring. You would think surviving 47 days floating in a raft in the Pacific Ocean would be more than anyone could endure. But he endured so much more for over two years as a POW.

A Big Surprise!

When we finished the movie, there was a big surprise – the bonus material on the DVD. Watching it we got to see and hear him, in his nineties. He died last July at the age 97.

One can only imagine after enduring what he endured how it would affect your life. After a time of tremendous hurt and struggle back home, Louis remembered something he told God drifting on his raft years before. He turned to God, accepted Christ, and his life changed dramatically.

Watching and listening to him speak, there is tremendous learning in many categories, but especially forgiveness. I better stop at this point, in case you haven’t seen the bonus material; I don’t want to be a spoiler. But I plan to purchase the DVD just because of that extra material.

Have you watched the movie? Have you seen the bonus material? What did you think?
