John Newton is best known as the author of 'Amazining Grace', but this brilliant new biography shows how he led one of the most colourful and influential lives of the eighteenth century. Using a wealth of unpublished material, Johnathan Aitken charts Newton's journey through slave trading, best-selling authorship, ordination, church leadership, abolitionist campaigning and the spiritual mentoring of William Wilberforce and Wiliam Cowper. From Newton's rip-rouring adventures on the high seas to his emergence as a pivotal figure in the abolitionist and evangelical movements, this is a life of amazing achievment as well as of 'Amazing Grace.'--Back cover.
