LEESBURG, Fla. (BP)--In 1872, baby boy John Harper is born in the dark of night in the Scottish village of Houston.
"Father, he is a gift from You, thus we will dedicate him to You. His name will be John," his mustached, middle-aged, working-class father declares, looking toward the heavens, clutching the baby to his chest.
"Yes, a good Bible name," John's mother says, drops of sweat pouring from her otherwise serene face as she reclines against a rumpled pillow, a midwife looking on.
On a glossy comic book's opening page, bright graphic artwork in four blocks introduces the engrossing biography of a Baptist preacher who survived three close brushes with drowning before finally perishing with the Titanic.
