i have a vested interest in the titanic, jesus, and scottish people, so this book is right up my alley. i don't even care that it's written for children, it just feels like a simple quick read, and as long as it's good, who cares who the target audience is? i read this book many times as a child, and it was nice to finally read it again as an adult
i love john and nana, they are such inspirations and terrific evangelists

ohiosarah's review against another edition
5.0
I’ve enjoyed the mystique that is the Titanic since I was a young girl, I’ve always thought it’d be neat to be able to go down to the bottom of the ocean and see this graveyard. Since I can’t go deep sea exploring the next best thing is to read stories, especially those that are based on fact, that instill faith and hope as well as stories from the Titanic. I’ve never read any in the series from which this book comes so I’m glad I started with this one, as it deals with a man of great faith, Rev. John Harper, his daughter and their time on the Titanic. I was caught up in the story from the first page and kept flipping my e-pages until the end, which was summed up with a nice mini-Bible study.
I could tell this was written for a young audience, but even I did not tire of it and hope to read it aloud to all my children in the next several days. I enjoyed the story and would love to find more out about John Harper and his daughter. I also aim to work through the Bible study with each of my children so that we can more understand our faith in the Lord – it really seemed to bring home the idea of Mr. Harper’s belief in the Lord and him wanting those who didn’t believe before the Titanic reached it’s watery grave to find that Salvation. If you are looking for a way to teach the Titanic and instill values that have been shared with others from across time then this is a great book and will pique your child’s interest and maybe even yours.
