John Newton: From Disgrace to Amazing Grace

John Newton: From Disgrace to Amazing Grace

Jonathan Aitken. Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway Books, 2007. 400 pp. (Hardback).

Needless to say, Christians enjoy singing “Amazing Grace.” As you may know, the subject of this book, John Newton, wrote it. You may also be aware that Newton personally experienced this grace inasmuch as he was a captain on a slave ship in England.

Fortunately he was converted and his life turned around. Any book like this one will motivate believers to become more committed to Christ and His church.
