Friday Favorites:

My favorite Adventure Story is the account of the defunct, Antarctic expedition of Ernest Shackleton and the crew of the Endurance.

"In 1914, Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men set sail to Antarctica, where they hoped to be the first to cross the continent on foot. Before reaching their destination, their ship, Endurance, was trapped in the ice pack and eventually crushed."  Shackleton and his crew spent over two years stranded on the ice flows and small islands of the Antarctic; miraculously, all survived. 


I am a Non-Fiction fan.  Please don't get me wrong, I still enjoy a little "Story" now and then, but there's just too much reality to read about.  Books on real-life adventures, inspirational people, theological discourses and world history can satisfy a lifetime of reading.  So, dive into a good, non-fiction adventure soon.
