This biography of the writer of Amazing Grace takes us on a journey
worthy of a Hollywood extravaganza with swashbuckling adventures on
the high seas coupled with the horrors of the slave trade. Once
Blind retells Newton's conversion during a crushing storm no one
expected to survive, moving on to his most unusual career as an
evangelical clergyman with the Church of England during which he
was known for his ability to bridge gaping theological chasms. In
the end, John Newton risked his reputation, his wife's emotional
well-being, even his cherished right to preach--all so that he
could bear witness to the horrors he had witnessed and had
participated in, and to help bring about laws that would stop the
slave trade. This is indeed a timely book as we mark the 200th
anniversary of the laws that set in motion the end of 18th century
slavery, for God's grace is every bit as amazing today as it was in
Newton's era.
