Amazing Grace: The Life of John Newton and the Surprising Story Behind His Song by Bruce Hindmarsh, Craig Borlase

adventurous challenging inspiring reflective slow-paced

3.75

I've sung the hymn 'Amazing Grace' many times over and heard a little about John Newton, the man behind the song. But I never knew how he got from his life a slave trader to a preacher. He went through some truly horrible experiences, but it took a long, long time for him to turn to God and leave his sinful ways behind.

As you might guess, this is definitely a Christian book. I enjoyed the Afterword with the lessons at the end. 

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a with a free copy for review.
