Description:Adrian Warnock presents a modern English edition of the 18th century classic writings of John Newton (1725-1807), author of Amazing Grace, the world’s greatest hymn and the most recorded song of any genre. This is John Newton's own commentary on Amazing Grace.His devotional writings form the perfect explanation of the hymn's message, showing what is really so amazing about grace. Modern self-help is no help at all in an existential crisis. These pages contain the secret to genuine personal growth and spiritual transformation. They are simple and yet profoundly deep. Amazing Grace appears 300 years after John Newton was born, and 253 years after he released his most famous hymn. The result is a seamless blend of Newton's timeless wisdom with the clarity of thought and plain English that have marked Warnock's Patheos blog for more than twenty years, and shaped his previous books Raised with Christ and Hope Reborn.John Newton, the former slave trader turned pastor, wrote letters that still speak to the deepest struggles of our spiritual journeys. In these pastoral devotions, Newton traces how divine grace takes root, grows, and matures in the human heart through three conviction, conflict, and mature contemplation of God's glory.The letters in this book are chosen from the thousands preserved from Newton's vast correspondence, a treasury mined for pastoral wisdom for more than two centuries. A skilful soul physician, Newton describes how grace changes every aspect of a Christian's life over a lifetime of faith.Amazing Grace also contains a fresh biography of this great pastor, not merely historical facts and stories, but a living interpretation of how significant his extraordinary life still is today. Newton becomes for us a vivid example of how God's grace changes people gradually over time.We meet the rebellious and violent youth, the slave trader who oppressed thousands of innocents, was made a slave himself, and who was found by God's grace during a storm that nearly sank his ship. This unruly man was pursued, rescued, and transformed by grace.We learn how over time Newton became a pastor known for his compassion and kindness, most notably demonstrated by his deeply committed care towards the poet William Cowper during his mental illness. Read about how Newton was also a pastor of a whole nation, working for the abolition of the slave trade, mentoring William Wilberforce for decades.Newton bridged the gap between the warring denominational movements of his time, a friend of both George Whitefield and John Wesley. He turned his fervour not into pamphlet flame wars or revival preaching, but into the tenderhearted soul care of the distressed and depressed as they struggled to find greater spiritual freedom and transformation. These pages invite readers not only to understand Newton's insights, but to experience the living reality of grace in their own lives.ABOUT ADRIAN WARNOCK"Adrian is a first-rate communicator"— Albert Mohler JrABOUT JOHN NEWTON"He says it all perfectly"— Martyn Lloyd-Jones"I look forward to meeting John Newton"— R.
