John Newton

About this book

John Newton had an unusual appreciation for the grace of God, for he had wandered a tremendous distance from it. John Newton is his own account of his journey into God's grace. In a series of fourteen letters written to a friend, John Newton discloses the many acts of Providence that eventually led to his salvation. From his early years of hardship and his life as a sailor and slave dealer, he relates God's love and mercy in delivering him and using him as an effective weapon against the devil he once served. - Back cover.
