About this listen

“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.” So begins one of the most beloved hymns of all time. This is the autobiography of the man who penned those words. John Newton, the self-proclaimed “wretch”,was an active slave trader for several years until, on a homeward voyage through a violent storm, he experienced what he was later to refer to as his “great deliverance.” He tells of the dramatic, real-life events that led him from sin and bondage to a life transformed by God’s grace.

Encouraging to hear Newton's story in his own words. Also the latter part of his life as well as his sayings.

Incredible story of John Newton’s journey in life, his fights with sin and his discovery of God’s grace. The depth of peace he found in God’s presence, guidance and God’s teaching the bible, which is truth for living.

The book may have been great but the narrator had such a low pitched voice that it just sounded like a indiscernible low rumble most of the time. I'd never listen to a book he's done again. Sorry William

I couldn't understand the narrator
