Description

Life of John Newton; The Attic Book Series

Originally published in 1831 by the ASSU

Compiled from Joh Newton’s own notes and memoirs, this reproduction was meticulously recreated from the 1831 original text, detailing Newton’s conversion from slave trader to fierce abolitionist. Though his mother believed her son would be a minister one day, Newton chose a life of disobedience and immorality. As he fled the face of God, he became hardened in heart and soon was reduced to a beggar. This angry man eventually rose to the rank of slave ship captain, one of the harshest livelihoods in history. 

On a storm-tossed sea, a near-death experience drove him back to his boyhood faith. In less than 20 years, he became a respected man of trade and ultimately a priest who penned the words of the unforgettable hymn, Amazing Grace, pouring out his heart’s cry to create a song that still resonates today. In his story of redemption, we find hope for those we love and for ourselves. 

This volume in “The Attic Series” is one of many faithful reproductions, made to look 200 years old, but in fact, brand new. Martin Luther, Isaac Newton. John Knox, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, William Penn, and Andrew Jackson are other contributors to this one-of-a-kind series. This makes for a great collection and great gifts!
