Christian perception of liner tragedy

‘TITANIC’ Is the title of a new book relating the story of an evangelist who was on board the ocean liner on that fateful night. Author Victor Maxwell says there have been many stories told of events surrounding the great ship’s tragic end in April 1912, but this one tells of an earnest evangelist named John Harper, who, even as the great ship began to sink into its watery grave, ministered to others with no thought for his own safety.

Retired Baptist pastor Victor Maxwell gives the background of one of the great heroes of the Titanic story. The Rev. John Harper, he says, was “a mighty preacher� but more than that he was a man who lived the was put to the test in the most difficult circumstances imaginable and even 100 years later it still burns as bright as the light he brought to many lives on that dark and fateful night in 1912,� writes Maxwell.
