Beautiful gift book. A teacher, a plumber, an entrepreneur, a preachers kid, a drifter, a thief. Six men in a dinghy, lost in the vast Pacific, their food rapidly rotting in the heat. Why, they wondered, could they do nothing right? Why did the planes overhead never see them? Why could they catch no fish?
One day one of them said, "I think the problem is not what we've done or not done, but what we are. God wants us to be different. This might mean changing our hearts."
Tomorrow they would make things right.
Against all odds, by their ingenuity, determination and faith, they survived two full months under the equatorial sun with almost no clothing or fresh water. Five of them would live to see their homeland, healed by their suffering.
This is a story about never, ever giving up.
