Book Description
Horatio Spafford sent his wife and four daughters to Europe intending to meet them there later. The Spafford's ship collided with an English ship and quickly sank. The four Spafford girls were lost. Weeks later, Horatio, sailing to be reunited with his wife, wrote the poem that became a famous hymn. However, in 1880, the Spafford family moved to Jerusalem. History teaches that Horatio became unstable in the years following the deaths of his daughters. This is what the newspapers of the time reported, and it is the story that is often remembered today. However, the Spafford's sixth child published memoirs in which she tells a different story, the simple chronicling of the events that led her family to move to Jerusalem. This play discusses both scenarios from Horatio's perspective. He asks you to decide which story is true. The tale is told with all the necessary elements for you to decide if Horatio Spafford was mentally unstable or if he was trying to continue to conduct himself as a man of God.
