Our preacher told us this story of a man named John Harper. I had never heard of him or this story before. If you have not heard of him, I suggest you read it. Moody Bible Institute has a book about him that I have ordered. This link will take you a brief synopsis of him and his life. http://www.blessedquietness.com/journal/housechu/harper.htm

What a story! I will order this book as well. Thank you for sharing...was this from ur pastor at the new church ur attending?
What a great story,Katie. When I think of what Hollywood calls action-packed stories. They can not begin to understand. There is nothing more stiring then true accounts of how the Lord has changed lives.
This story is absolutely amazing...I will never forget this story as long as i live...only Jesus' great love could cause a man to do this....I can not find the words to explain what i felt when i read this....thank you Katie for telling us about John Harper.
Candace, this was a story Pastor Hayes at our new church told. He couldn't hardly tell it for crying and by the time he was finished, I think the whole church was crying. He was talking about parents being an example for their children. And he was saying what a legacy this man left for his daughter...that his last breaths were spent trying to win souls to the Lord. What a way to go into eternity and be welcomed home by your loving Heavenly Father!!
Reading this story really makes my heart hurt, because I just dont have that burning desire to see souls saved. I am praying for that desire.
