This original and “meticulously researched retelling of history’s most infamous voyage” (Denise Kiernan, New York Times bestselling author) uses the sinking of the Titanic as a prism through which to examine the end of the Edwardian era and the seismic shift modernity brought to the Western world. “While there are many Titanic books, this is one readers will consider a favorite” (Voyage). In April 1912, six notable people were among those privileged to experience the height of luxury—first class passage on “the ship of dreams,” the RMS Titanic: Lucy Leslie, Countess of Rothes; son of the British Empire Tommy Andrews; American captain of industry John Thayer and his son Jack; Jewish-American immigrant Ida Straus; and American model and movie star Dorothy Gibson. Within a week of setting sail, they were all caught up in the horrifying disaster of the Titanic’s sinking, one of the biggest news stories of the century. Today, we can see their stories and the Titanic’s voyage as the beginning of the end of the established hierarchy of the Edwardian era. Writing in his signature elegant prose and using previously unpublished sources, deck plans, journal entries, and surviving artifacts, Gareth Russell peers through the portholes of these first-class travelers to immerse us in a time of unprecedented change in British and American history. Through their intertwining lives, he examines social, technological, political, and economic forces such as the nuances of the British class system, the explosion of competition in the shipping trade, the birth of the movie industry, the Irish Home Rule Crisis, and the Jewish-American immigrant experience while also recounting their intimate stories of bravery, tragedy, and selflessness. Lavishly illustrated with color and black and white photographs, this is “a beautiful requiem” (The Wall Street Journal) in which “readers get the story of this particular floating Tower of Babel in riveting detail, and with all the wider context they could want” (Christian Science Monitor).
This is a record of dreams and open visions given by the Lord to the writer (and to a smaller extent his wife) in chronological order over 2020. Prophetic in nature, they consist of themes of admonition to the believer to shake off their complacency and dallying with the world in view of the lateness of the hour, and stern warnings about wolves in sheep’s clothing among the Body, especially shepherds who mislead their flock with false prophecies and seducing tactics mainly for power and monetary gain. There are also vivid visions concerning changes in the government and warnings about violent breakouts and the coming persecution. Many are direct messages from the Lord, which recur in cycles throughout the narrative, testifying to their urgency and the call to be sober and vigilant. Above all, there is a heartfelt cry to pray and intercede for the nation to keep her from the evil one and for the advancement of the kingdom.
