"Unbroken",A new and fabulous book

Today is most appropriate to post this as it addresses the trail of fright, terror, and utter despair our fighting men endured in the 2nd World War ( and in any war). We face the loss today of a man ,Robin Williams,who made us laugh and now cry because he gave up!    How do these events intermingle? The wonderful Billy Graham saved our hero in "Unbroken" how many of us are that fortunate?

Words and ideas escape us ,we feel helpless with people in despair and depression, but they do laugh, and smile at times, so somewhere behind and deep below that sadness is the spark of their soul.  Maybe as a society we need to put forth more positive movies, music , etc, books that illustrate the magic and hope in the worlds specially for the young souls, teens and young adults so they know redemption is a given.

Watching " The Egyptian" yesterday ,a movie ( and book of the 50's ) the difference between our present culture and then was so apparent.  "Unbroken" and "The Egyptian",both show how we can redeem ourselves from the darkest days.    Children need to learn young that they can face life bravely even when they make big mistakes and that redemption is possible because it brings peace.

"Unbroken" just released has over 10,000 reviews on Amazon including mine.  It was and is a book of the year.  A book that illustrates what our culture of the late 40's and 50's produced, and how this "MAN " handled his life with incredible stamina, bravery, and forgiveness when it seemed no one could ever forgive such atrocious brutality

Our precious souls need more attention in the early growing stages ,don't you agree?
