ISBN:  9781400334018 (hc.) Alternate title:  Life of John Newton and the surprising story behind his song John Newton and the surprising story behind his song Description:  xiii, 219 p. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-216). Summary:  "Once you can see the truth, you must find the courage to act. Since the first public singing of Amazing Grace almost 250 years ago, every generation has been profoundly moved by the song, and now readers can connect with John Newton's story like never before. Based on years of research on the life and writings of John Newton, 'Amazing Grace' tells of a prodigal who returns home, and a young love that defies the odds; of a young man whose life is torn by grief and wounded by the cruelty of others, following his descent into deeper suffering and finally into the brutal world of the slave trade. Newton rejects God repeatedly but is rescued by a divine mercy that reaches deeper than he could ever have imagined as he ultimately faces his past and repents. The lyrics to the song take on a new meaning through the lens of Newton's life. A man who truly understood wretchedness and the transformation from blindness to sight are embodied in his song and his experiences. His evolution is also a testment to the power of grace itself -- how it can embolden a person who might have hidden in the darkness of shame to step out in the light through the power of forgivness."--Jacket.
