Newton on the Christian Life

To Live Is Christ

By: Tony Reinke

Narrated by: Graham Geisler

John Newton is famous for his legendary hymn "Amazing Grace". Many have celebrated his dramatic conversion from a life in the slave trade to his eventual work to end it. But often overlooked are Newton's 40 years as a pastor ministering to parishioners and friends unsettled by the trials, doubts, and fears of life.

Newton is perhaps the greatest pastoral letter writer in the history of the church. He took up his pen day after day to help others fix their eyes on Christ, which, he writes, is the underlying battle of the Christian life. Through a careful study of scores of letters, Tony Reinke brings together Newton's brilliant vision of the Christian life in one accessible place.

This is at the top of my list of favorite books on the Christian life.

I am a great sinner and Christ is a greater Savior

This is one of the most helpful books on the Christian life that I have read. It has helped me to understand some of the paradoxical realities of the Christian life. That we simultaneously grow in greater understanding of our sin and weaknesses and grow in greater degrees of seeing, loving and relying on the all-sufficient Savior, Jesus Christ.
