For your summer enjoyment.

For my second book selection of the summer I choose Mitchell Zuckoff's   
"Frozen in Time"

This is  an utterly enthralling narrative of the endurance, courage and ultimate survival of two American air crews stranded on the Greenland Ice-Cap during World War Two.
Running parallel to the gripping account of the rescue of these crews is the effort of a dedicated group of volunteers seventy years later, to locate the missing aircraft and bring back the remains of those still frozen in the glacier.

Apart from the drama of the narrative, what struck me was the faith of the airmen who were stranded on the ice-cap for nearly six months. Without exception they prayed everyday and saw miraculous interventions and answers to their prayers.

Their story proves the old adage that "there are no atheists in fox holes."


The location of the aircraft now buried sixty feet deep in the Greenland ice..... well that's another story.

Jubilate.
