Customer Reviews

Definitely worth reading

Rarely does this world ever see a selfless hero like John Harper. He is truly an inspiration to us all. The only reason I didn't give this book five stars is because the second half gets very repetitive. John Harper himself gets five stars.

About a godly man who went down with the Titanic.

I went to see the movie TITANIC, but regretted it. I didn't like all the sexuality that was portrayed in it, and when I heard about Moody Adams' book, The Titanic's Last Hero, I knew that I had to get it. I wanted to see how a person could be there to help change lives, instead of just having only the pleasures of life. John Harper was such a spiritual man, and he led many people to the saving grace of Jesus Christ even before going on that ill-fated journey on the Titanic. The narratives of people saved with the promise of going to their heavenly kingdom when the Titanic went down, that's a better story to remember and to think about.

Gripping, Challenging

Tells the story of John Harper, a Scottish pastor who spent his last hours on the Titanic, witnessing to others even as the ship sank.

It will not be fast paced like the movie, but inspiring

If you are looking for a book as fast paced as the movie, you will be disappointed. This is a collection of memories of people close to John Harper. What the book will give you is a deep look into a man who faced near death by drowning three times before his death due to the Titanic's sinking. It inspired me to look at my own faith more critically. It presents the flip side of all those passengers who so lacked compassion that they put their own needs ahead of others who were dying in the water.
