Never had Horatio and Anna Spafford imagined that a family vacation
to Europe would forever change their lives. In 1873, the ship Ville
du Havre was nicknamed the "floating palace" -the finest, most
luxurious steamer on the Atlantic. "Unsinkable" was the word used
to describe her safety and sturdiness of construction. One week
after departure from New York, unsuspecting passengers of the Ville
du Havre were shuffled from their beds and flung into the dark
Atlantic when their ship was dissected by another-the Loch Earn.
Many lives were saved, but many were lost at sea, including the
four daughters of Horatio and Anna. Heartbroken, Horatio put the
ebb and flow of his emotions and faith to paper and penned the poem
"It Is Well." Later, Philip P. Bliss, a well-known author of hymns
and gospel songs, composed a melody, and the result was the hymn
"It Is Well with My Soul," which has lent comfort to many
grief-stricken souls. Too often the telling of the Horatio Spafford
story ends with the writing of this hymn. Instead, Dr. Corts takes
you to the end of Horatio and Anna's lives. After the shipwreck,
the grieving Spaffords conducted a relentless search for spiritual
guidance that ultimately led to Anna's declaration that she was a
prophet of God. The years that followed were ones of spiritual and
financial havoc for the Spaffords. What Dr. Corts's research
revealed was that the Spafford story is an example of the
indomitable human spirit to survive when faced with personal
calamity. More importantly, it is the story of the devastating
consequences that can occur when sincere, well-meaning Christians
abandon the Bible as their guidebook and seek answers elsewhere.
