Book Description
John Newton is best known as the slave trader turned hymn writer who penned the most popular English hymn in history: “Amazing Grace.” However, many Christians are less familiar with the decades he spent in relative obscurity, laboring as a “spiritual doctor” while pastoring small parishes in England. In the latest addition to Crossway’s growing Theologians on the Christian Life series, Tony Reinke introduces modern readers to Newton’s pastoral wisdom by leading them through the many sermons, hymns, and—most importantly—letters that he wrote over the course of his life. Considered by many to be one of the greatest letter writers of all time, Newton has valuable insights to offer modern Christians, especially when it comes to fusing together sound doctrine, lived experience, and godly practice. Part of the Theologians on the Christian Life series.

'A nearly perfectly fashioned work of art' – Irish Times The third in his thematically-connected Revolutions Trilogy, The Newton Letter is an exceptional work of literature from John Banville, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea.

His elaborate attempts to decipher the complex web of relationships are, however, far from accurate . . .

Book Description
No one who knew John Newton as a young lad would ever have dreamed that this teenage rebel, profane sailor, naval deserter and slave-trader would one day write the lyrics to one of the best-known hymns of all time, Amazing Grace. The story of how such a notorious sinner was converted to Christ and went on to become an equally noteworthy pastor and leader of the evangelical movement in eighteenth century England is simply astounding. In compiling this selection from his writings, Todd Murray has made Newton's gentle pastoral wisdom available to a new generation of readers.

Book Description
Hindmarsh draws upon archival and antiquarian sources to consider the life and religious thought of John Newton (1725-1807). He shows how Newton's life sheds light on little explored aspects of the eighteenth-century Evangelical Revival. Hindmarsh's discussion of historical theology, pastoralia, and spirituality as well as his consideration of conversion narrative, the familiar letter, and hymnody contribute to a fuller understanding of religion and culture in general.
