Amazing Grace: The Story of the Hymn Book

â??Amazing Grace! (How sweet the sound!)â?The hymnâ??s composer, John Newton, led a successful life as a seafaring trader, sailing from Liverpool to Africa and on to Antigua. His cargo was a lucrative one, for he traded in human beings. It was the height of the slave trade, and he made his terrible journey many times. But one night a storm raged. His ship was almost lost. He prayed that if only salvation would come to â??a wretch like me,â? he would leave the slave trade and work towards its abolition. That night was a turning point in Newtonâ??s life. He became an ardent abolitionist and a Methodist minister. But his greatest legacy is â??Amazing Grace.â?This unique book is an excellent introduction to the history of slavery and also contains the original text of the hymn, music, and map endpapers.Read More
