So I decided to do my first book review for the first book I have finished this year. Ever since Carrie read this, I have wanted to, and now I finally have.
I loved Unbroken. The only fault I could find in the books is the Moby Dick-esque explanations about the airplanes. Other than that, this book was pretty flawless. And if you ever felt bad about dropping the a-bombs in Japan, read this book, and it will make you want to drop two more. Maybe that's bad to say. But I am a blunt person.
I would definitely recommend this book.
But I did read a passage that really stuck out to me. I'm not a very religious person, but for anyone out there who is and who has told me that they are praying for Jillie, or even those of you who just want to send her positive thoughts or good energy, this might hit home for all of us.
Graham went on. He spoke of God reaching into the world through miracles and the intangible blessings that give men the strength to outlast their sorrows. "God works miracles one after another," he said. "... God says, 'If you suffer, I'll give you the grace to go forward.'"
We are all suffering right now. No one is suffering physically, including Jillie, but there is suffering emotionally. So for now, we are waiting for the grace.
