John Newton was a troubled young man with a violent temper and a penchant for vulgarity that literally made his fellow sailors blush. Whipped for desertion and sold into slavery, it seemed his life would end early in a West African grave...until he was rescued by a ship captain sent by his father.

Following a powerful conversion experience during a storm at sea, Newton would eventually become a pastor in the Church of England and the writer of several of the church's most beloved hymns, including "Amazing Grace."

But before that, Newton, the former slave, was appointed captain of a slave ship himself. In an age when human bondage was considered the norm, it would take time for Newton's conscience to be thoroughly transformed. But Newton came to hate the slave trade, becoming a spiritual leader in the fight to end slavery.

Newton's Grace is the true story of a real "Prodigal Son," the story of miraculous forgiveness and change that lies behind the powerful words of one of the world's most beloved hymns.

Amazing grace, How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I am found, Was blind, but now I see. ✨  'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. ✨  Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come, 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home. ✨ The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. ✨  Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace. ✨  When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun. 🕊️
