Most Christians know John Newton as a man who once captained a slave ship, was dramatically converted to Christ on the high seas, and later penned one of the greatest hymns of the faith, "Amazing Grace." But he also had a huge impact on his times as an icon of the evangelical movement, as a great preacher and theologian, and as a seminal influence on abolitionist William Wilberforce. Newton's friendship with Wilberforce is portrayed in the major motion picture Amazing Grace.Jonathan Aitken's new biography John Newton explores all these facets of Newton's life and character. It is the first biography to draw on Newton's unpublished diaries and correspondence, providing fresh insight into the life of this complex and memorable Christian. The result is a fascinating, colorful, and historically significant portrait of John Newton, a self-described "great sinner" redeemed by a great Savior through amazing grace.
I kept reading that the military uses satellite technology for our protection, but in what manner remains a mystery until the conclusion page. Many reviewers gave this low ratings because it has a "liberal bias." I find that the book was well-balanced with real-world fallacies from both sides of the aisle, if they fall on either side of the political aisle at all. Pithy and opinionated, yes, but his writing remains the best record of the sport from his time. Perhaps the only fault with this is in book organization. When unexpected events happen, Jack and Rowan are forced to make a decision to save Rowan that will affect their lives forever.

But this also is sound historical scholarship and well-told in its own right. Being in a relationship does not figure into his plans. To say that this book has helped me
