Amazing Grace in the Life of John Newton, Part 2, by Rev. Lee Steritt
Note: John Newton turned from the slave trade to serving our Lord Jesus as a minister. His is best known today for his wonderful hymn, Amazing Grace. Dr. J.I Packer has an interesting comment on this popular hymn:
"Yet we in our day, much as we love to sing Amazing Grace (I suppose because we like the tune), are not inwardly amazed by grace as the Puritans were; it does not startle us that the holy Creator should receive sinners into his company; rather, we take it for granted! 'God will forgive. That's his job!' was the final scoff with which the French cynic went to meet his maker." - J. I. Packer, A Quest for Godliness - The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life
