I don't care what Zamperini chose to believe without evidence. It doesn't impress me, in fact it saddens me.
Quote:Graham has repeatedly been on Gallup's list of most admired men and women. He has appeared on the list 60 times since 1955, more than any other individual in the world.
Again, so what? He's another in a long line of snake oil salesmen who got rich and famous telling people what they want to hear. None of that makes anything that he said true.
Zamperini's life and the good works he accomplished is the evidence.
I presented factual evidence for the recognition and admiration Billy Graham earned. The truth is in the lives he has affected and good works that have resulted. These are well documented. For example:

Quote:Since 1952, kids in need of guidance were Louis' passion. He established the first of-its-kind wilderness program for at-risk youth, 'Victory Boys Camps'. The camp challenged kids to achieve success in basic outdoor skills such as fishing, boating, skiing, hiking and climbing as a means to develop character and instill a sense of accomplishment for themselves and respect for others. The majesty of the great outdoors created the ideal setting to touch hearts and minds. Today, we provide these opportunities through camp experiences, mentoring programs, curricula development, and the donation of Bibles, and Louis' books, Unbroken and Don't Give Up, Don't Give In.That is positive life changing help, not snake oil!
By sharing the lessons learned from his extraordinary life, Louis shined a light on the Truth: that forgiveness, perseverance, and Faith in Jesus Christ can carry anyone through the worst storms in life, awakening them to God's promise of a perfect plan for their lives.
Praise the Lord,
