Zamperini&#8217;s ability to survive in unbelievably cruel and harsh conditions are astounding. What is even more shocking is the utter depths of evil that created those conditions.<\/p>\n<p>This is a story that unquestionably reveals the horror of war and how evil hearts can produce unthinkable suffering in their fellow-man.<\/p>\n<h2>A Story of Eventual Defeat<\/h2>\n<p>Zamperini survived of 47 days at sea in a raft and 2 years as a POW. He came home, got married and had a kid. It seemed like a story book ending. He had beaten his enemy by not giving in, by not breaking.<\/p>\n<p>The problem was that he was broken! Zamperini could not overcome the evil he had experienced in Japan. It drove him to the edge of sanity with nightmares and regular alcoholic binges. He became angry and bitter, his marriage fell apart.<\/p>\n<p>This was a battle Zamperini could not win on his own!<\/p>\n<h2>What Angelina Jolie Left Out<\/h2>\n<p>What changed everything for Louis Zamperini? What finally offered him a way out of his downward spiral and gave him the strength to forgive his torturers?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zamperini met Jesus!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the part Angelina Jolie left out and without it the story is incomplete.<\/p>\n<h2>Jesus Fixed Zamperini&#8217;s Broken Heart<\/h2>\n<p>Zamperini had survived the war physically but he was still suffering from a broken heart. A heart broken not only by the cruel treatment from Japanese prison guards but heart that was broken by the weight of his own sin.<\/p>\n<p>Then one evening at a Billy Graham crusade Zamperini believed in Jesus and everything changed!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cIn a single, silent moment, his rage, his fear, his humiliation and helplessness, had fallen away. That morning, he believed, he was a new creation. Softly, he wept\u2026\u00a0At that moment, something shifted sweetly inside him. It was forgiveness, beautiful and effortless and complete.
