John Newton

In the Bitesize Biographies Series

The people who know John Newton’s name often only know one or two things about him. They recognize that he authored one of the most popular hymns of all time, ‘Amazing Grace’. They possibly know that he was a slaveship captain before he wrote that hymn – even in this introduction to the life and ministry of John Newton, we learn there was so much more!
