Through Many Dangers: The Story of John Newton

A common sailor at the age of eleven and press-ganged onto a man-of-war at nineteen, John Newton experienced the thrill of action against French warships, the cruel lash of navy discipline for desertion, the loose and blasphemous life of a freethinker, and the pain of an overwhelming love for a girl beyond his reach.

Rejecting God and morality, Newton entered the slave-trade, became a slave himself, and by the age of twenty-three was little removed from the state of a wild animal.

A violent Atlantic storm brought Newton to his knees and to his God. With a changing life and growing faith there followed years as a slave captain and customs man, in the heyday of smuggling, before he entered the ministry.

The author of "Amazing Grace" left hymns and letters that for over two-hundred years have led people to Christ. His story illustrates what God can do with one man preserved Through Many Dangers
