Thank you for summarizing the conversion of Louie Zamperini. It is one of the most inspirational stories I have ever heard. I read his book, and I say the movie. While many criticized the film for not being more overt in detailing Zamperini's conversion to Christianity, and Rev. Graham's role in it, I still found the film to be an amazing work that perhaps planted a seed in the hearts of many. Zamperini also closely cooperated on the film, and I was moved when I read how Angela Jolie (the Director and Co-Producer of the film) was so taken by Zamperini and his love of Christ.

I gave my heart to Jesus when I was in my 30s. I was raised a Catholic, and I was a very devout Catholic. I don't want to make this an attack on the Catholic faith, but for all my efforts, I did not know Christ. I was not taught the simple, yet powerful, message of Salvation.

When I finally broke down, and said the sinners prayer, and accepted Christ, I experienced the most profound feelings for Him. I knew that I was now saved from Hell. I knew that I was accepted, and no one or no thing could snatch me from His hand.

I pray that all who wish to find Christ come to Him quickly, because I truly believe we don' have much time left. I feel we are very close to the end of days, the Rapture, and the Tribulation.

Thank you, SkyPilot for that post. I feel much the same way. I am still trying to find my way.

That seems a bit presumptous; 'til one reads:

 

1 John 5:13 niv
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
