John Newton: A slave set free

“I once was lost but now I’m found”

The man who wrote the song ‘Amazing Grace’ began his career as the captain of a slave ship. When God changed his heart and his life, he began to free the people he kept captive.

This is the amazing story of how Newton found ‘amazing grace’ and became a champion of the faith and the abolition of slavery.

The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today. This gripping and astonishing story from Irene Howat will challenge young readers to be transformed by God’s amazing grace like John Newton was.
