This is the story of a sailor and a slave trader, a drunkard and a blasphemer. He was transformed. He was transformed 'through many dangers' and fashioned by the hand of God into a loving husband, a preacher of the Gospel and the writer of perhaps the only hymn to ever become a 'number one' hit. This is the thrilling life story of John Newton, but more than that it is the story of God's Amazing Grace.
