If you haven’t read this book, make sure it’s the next one you read. It will literally give you an appreciation of what the term “sacrifice” means. A beautiful account of courage and determination that almost seems impossible to be true. But these events really did happen. And the people that it happened to survived to tell about it and go on to live productive lives. The only way anyone could understand this remarkable story is to read it. Don’t wait for the movie because the events that took place could never be depicted on screen.

You are right Jim this is one of the best. Zamparini is one of the strongest men to ever live and tell their story. Two other books I would recommend which offer true acts of valor include “Lone Survivor” and “No. Easy Day”. The first is the account of Marcus Lutrel, Navy Seal and the later is the account of Seal Team 6 and their assault on Osama Bin Ladden.
Awesome — I could not stop reading it. It is very satisfying to hear that Louie found profound peace. Stammi bene Louie Zamperini!
I knew you would appreciate it! Thanks for chiming in Mark!
This book is a must read, especially for anyone who is facing a challenge in life. The story provides strength and hope.
Ordered the book from Amazon at your suggestion. I’m so humbled by all this man went through and I’m only 1/2 done with the book… thanks for the recommendation
Isn’t it just the most compelling read? I trust you will pass it on to another when you are finished. Thank you for the comments. JPMsportsertainment is very grateful for the support. More to come!
