In 1914, an expedition headed by Sir Ernest Shackleton set out to be the first to cross the continent of Antarctica. Shipwrecked and marooned for months on end, their ill-fated voyage became a triumphant story of indomitable courage and faith in the face of astounding obstacles.
A bestseller since it was first published in 1959, Alfred Lansing’s Endurance now features a foreword and afterword from Dr. James Dobson inspiring every reader to persevere no matter how impossible the challenge.
I found this book a great read – hard to put down. Especially living in Minnesota and having experienced what I would consider “cold”, I can’t imagine the stamina and fortitude of these brave men. ~ Nancy
