Grann tells Worley's remarkable story with the intensity and power that have led reviewers to call him "simply the best narrative nonfiction writer working today." There are more than 50 stunning photographs, both color and black-and-white, that provide insight into this incredible journey. There is no better place to begin to answer this question than with the story of :::est Shackleton. Worsley is a man who pushes himself to the extreme of human capacity. On November 12, Sacred Endurance will launch into the world and I want you to get a first look I’m praying this book encourages us all to run the race with endurance fixing our eyes on the One who will sustain us till the end. Completing a journey of this magnitude with two others was remarkable but completing it alone is insane fall into a crevasse and there is no one there to help pull you out. Unlike his idol, Worsley completed the quest and, in 2015 at the age of 55, he repeated the venture alone. Yet all of these extraordinary stories celebrate the enduring nature of the human spirit. ![]() 'White Darkness" is the story of Henry Worsley, a relative of one of 19th century South Pole explorer Ernest Shackleton’s men, who in 2008 organized an expedition with other descendants of Shackleton's crew to cross Antarctica. Endurance is packed full of you-couldn't-make-it-up true stories and adventure fiction classics, from the high seas to the poles, from inhospitable jungles and deserts to the unknown realms of space, through physical and mental despair to euphoric highs. If you've never read a David Grann story, you're in for a real treat with his latest bestseller “The White Darkness.” He is a staff writer at The New Yorker magazine and his prior book, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” was a best-seller. ![]()
