Book Description<\/h2>\n

John Newton (1725-1807), sailor, preacher and hymnwriter, was one of the most colourful figures in the great\u00a0Evangelical Revival of the 18th Century. \u2018Once an infidel and\u00a0libertine, a servant of slaves in Africa,\u2019 he wrote for his own epitaph,\u00a0\u2018by the rich mercy of Jesus Christ, preserved, restored, pardoned, and\u00a0appointed to preach the faith he had long laboured to destroy\u2019.<\/p>\n

It was through his correspondence that Newton fulfilled his distinctive\u00a0work as \u2018the letter writer par excellence<\/i> of the Evangelical Revival\u2019. His grasp of Scripture and deep personal experience, his many friends (among them, George Whitefield, William Cowper and William Wilberforce), his manifold trials, his country pastorate, his strong, clear, idiomatic style \u2014 all these factors combined to prepare the author of How sweet the Name of Jesus\u00a0Sounds<\/em>, for the exercise of his special gift.<\/p>\n

These practical letters cover a wide variety of subjects and aim \u2018to\u00a0conform the believer to Christ\u2019.<\/p>\n
