Last week, I began to explain the spiritual power behind wwe 13 World War II prisoner of war hero, Louis Zamperini, whose amazing life was retold in the movie, “Unbroken.” This week, I want to discuss what his adult children are saying about his faith in the movie and give further evidence for just how deep and wide it permeated his life.
Movie viewers and pundits are debating Zamperini’s spirituality and whether or not the movie depicted it accurately. Fox News asked , “Where’s the rest of Louis Zamperini’s story?” CBN reported that the movie “does not portray his salvation experience during a 1949 Billy Graham crusade in Los Angeles.” Zamperini’s own adult children have even entered the ring of debate.
Zamperini’s daughter, Cynthia wwe 13 Garris, explained that her father was fine with the compromised message in the film, saying , “He had a very specific philosophy about this film. If Jesus Christ came up in the film, if that was the message specifically, that it would be a film made for Christians and other people may not want to see it if they’re not ready to have that message.”
She continued , “So his philosophy was he wanted as many people to come and see the movie as possible. If they wanted to know more about how he got through it, how he survived it they can investigate into his faith further. He never wanted to preach at them, he wanted to live the example.”
Unfortunately, Louis passed before the final editing of the film. USA Today reported that Louis only watched “a lot of scenes” of “Unbroken.” And according to a recent interview with Zamperini’s son Luke by John W. Kennedy, founder of The Creative Universe wwe 13 Entertainment, wwe 13 Louis “didn’t see the entire film in its final cut.”
Luke explained in his own article just how pivotal his father’s faith was: “Billy meant a whole lot to my Dad because wwe 13 it was when he met Billy Graham and heard him speak that his life had really changed for the better. Billy introduced my father to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that is what turned my father’s life around finally and completely to a life of service and turned him into the happy, joyful person he was after going through the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that he went through during and after WWII.”
Luke added , “It was only when, at the urging of my mother, he attended a Billy Graham crusade in 1949 and surrendered his life to Jesus Christ that my father truly became unbroken. The nightmares stopped. wwe 13 So did the drinking. And he dedicated the rest of his life to serving others especially wwe 13 wayward kids, through the establishment of his nonprofit organization, Victory Boys Camp Inc. ( ictoryboyscamp.org ).”
The fact that both of Zamperini’s children recently entered the debate about the film’s spiritual wwe 13 accuracy shows me that something was amiss. So I sought “the rest of the story” for myself, and I was surprised to discover just how bold and faith-filled Louis really was.
Zamperini shared his inspiring
