Synopsis

Most Christians know John Newton as a man who once captained a slave ship, was dramatically converted to Christ on the high seas, and later penned one of the greatest hymns of the faith, " Amazing Grace." But he also had a huge impact on his times as an icon of the evangelical movement, as a great preacher and theologian, and as a seminal influence on abolitionist William Wilberforce. Newtonrs" s friendship with Wilberforce is portrayed in the major motion picture Amazing Grace. Jonathan Aitkenrs" s new biography John Newton explores all these facets of Newtonrs" s life and character. It is the first biography to draw on Newtonrs" s unpublished diaries and correspondence, providing fresh insight into the life of this complex and memorable Christian. The result is a fascinating, colorful, and historically significant portrait of John Newton, a self-described " great sinner" redeemed by a great Savior through amazing grace., Most Christians know John Newton as a man who once captained aslave ship, was dramatically converted to Christ on the high seas,and later penned one of the greatest hymns of the faith, "AmazingGrace."

Excellent, very happy! This one and the other 7 items were very speedily delivered in a solid envelope. Communication about the shipment progress from eBay and the delivery service was accurate. The items description fully match the books delivered. The Books' prices were very reasonable and so were the shipping costs. Nothing but praise for this transaction. I would buy from this seller again.

So Encouraging!!
I have a stack of about 10 books I’m reading, but when I started this one, all the others remained closed because this one is so engrossing and encouraging. I knew a little about John Newton, but not the details. His struggles with his sin and his fighting against them and how it likely appeared to others is so encouraging as I think about people I’ve been praying for who look as hopeless as Newton did. I’m about a third of the way through after just a couple of days. I look forward to finishing!I have a stack of about 10 books I’m reading, but when I started this one, all the others remained closed because this one is so engrossing and encouraging.

John Newton by Jonathan Aitken
The story of John Newton’s life is one of my personal favorites. Like most of us, Newton’s journey to his destiny was filled with false starts, obstacles, and a good deal of regret. Perhaps of all the biographies that I have read, the story of this man’s life resonates most with me as genuinely truthful and truly inspiring. Most people may not initially recognize the name of John Newton, that is until it is noted that he wrote the hymn Amazing Grace. Despite that it was written over 200 years ago, Amazing Grace is the most sung, most recorded, most played song ever. Not bad for a creation that was meant only to serve as a simplistic way to teach scripture to Newton’s congregation in Olney. Perhaps this song resonates so deeply with so many people because the words reflect John Newton’s ... The story of John Newton’s life is one of my personal favorites. Like most of us, Newton’s journey to his destiny was filled with false starts, obstacles, and a good deal of regret. Perhaps of all the biographies that I have read, the story of this man’s life resonates most with me as genuinely truthful and truly inspiring. Most people may not initially recognize the name of John Newton, that is until it is noted that he wrote the hymn Amazing Grace. Despite that it was written over 200 years ago, Amazing Grace is the most sung, most recorded, most played song ever. Not bad for a creation that was meant only to serve as a simplistic way to teach scripture to Newton’s congregation in Olney. Perhaps this song resonates so deeply with so many people because the words reflect John Newton’s own extremely troubled life journey. Newton spent many years of his young adulthood completely lost. Career wise, he had no idea what he wanted to do and seemed bent on rebelling against everything that was given to him. The only thing he seemed to excel at was creating havoc. His greed and resentment led him to do horrible things including becoming a slaver. After a series of what Newton perceived as divine interventions, the man slowly began realizing that he needed to change his life. After a lot of false starts, Newton turned his life around and dedicated himself to God’s word. In his lifetime, he became a bestselling author bringing religious material to the masses. His frank testimony about his actions in the slave trade was also significant in the abolishment of slavery in Britain.
