John Newton

Change of Heart (Christian Heroes: Then & Now)

By: Geoff Benge, Janet Benge

Narrated by: Tim Gregory

John Newton's life was in a downward spiral. Impressed into the Royal Navy, John clashed with his fellow seamen and even became a servant alongside slaves in West Africa. When he found himself on a sinking ship, he called out to God for help.

John began his conversion to Christianity while he captained a slave ship. Eventually he gave up his former life completely and became a minister with a deep passion for the gospel. A living witness to God's ability to change hearts, John joined the movement to set slaves free and penned hymns of hope, such as "Amazing Grace," sung by millions around the world today.

This best-selling, missionary biography series—Christian Heroes: Then & Now—chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory.

Great story and presentation!

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound!!
That is one of my favorite hymns because it describes my life.

Inspiring Story and Great Narration

The narrator is very good and the story of John Newton truly amazing (no pun intended 😀).

Inspirational

Many trials I didn’t know about that JN endured. It’s a story very much needed in today’s world.

Better story than I imagined

The fact that Jesus never gave up on John. So much more I learned about the man. Godly man for sure.
