Angebote / Angebote:

About the Book 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. About the Author Todd Murray is the Pastor of Family Ministries at Grace Immanuel Bible Church in Jupiter, Florida, where he also serves as a member of the faculty of The Expositor's Seminary. He is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute and Moody Graduate School where he studied both music and theology. He has composed and recorded several albums of worship songs including one focused on the hymns of John Newton. He and his wife Tandy are blessed to be the parents of five children and recently became grandparents.
