FERGUSON<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In few writers are Christian doctrine, experience and practice more happily balanced than in the author of these letters, and few write with more simplicity, piety and force.&#8217; &#8212; C. H. SPURGEON<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;For myself, I keep John Newton on my selectest shelf of spiritual books: by far the best kind of books in the whole world of books.&#8217; &#8212; ALEXANDER WHYTE<\/p>\n<h2>Book Description<\/h2>\n<p>John Newton (1725\u20131807) was a trophy of God\u2019s grace. His transformation from a blasphemous slave trader to a much loved minister of the gospel is a testimony to the powerful, life-changing grace of God in Jesus Christ. His hymns, letters, and other writings have been a source of strength and comfort to Christian believers for centuries.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jewels From John Newton<\/em>, a volume of daily devotional readings, has been lovingly and carefully compiled by one who owes a great debt to the helpful writings of John Newton. She (Miller Ferrie) writes:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What impresses me about this man is his honesty in readily admitting his struggles, sinfulness, and failures. This aspect of his writings has been such an encouragement to me personally, for it gave me the assurance that my own daily battles and humiliations are not unique. In addition, he repeatedly reminds his readers of God\u2019s trustworthiness, no matter what circumstances they might be facing. He never ceased to be amazed at God\u2019s grace in the gospel, and it was this grace that he sought to proclaim till his dying day.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The material included in this book is largely drawn from Newton\u2019s prolific correspondence, and covers a wide variety of topics related to the Christian\u2019s life and experience. Although written more than two hundred years ago, it remains as relevant and edifying as ever.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8216;O blessed man! that thus fears the Lord, that delights in his word, and derives his principles, motives, maxims, and consolations, from that unfailing source of light and strength. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, whose leaf is always green, and fruit abundant. The wisdom that is above shall direct his plans, inspire his counsels; and the power of God shall guard him on every side and prepare his way through every difficulty; he shall see mountains sink into plains, and streams spring up in the dry wilderness\u2026 The conduct of such a one, though in a narrow and retired sphere of life, is of more real excellence and importance, than the most splendid actions of kings and conquerors, which fill the annals of history, Prov. 16:32. And if the God whom he serves is pleased to place him in a more public light, his labours and cares will be amply compensated, by the superior opportunities afforded him of manifesting the power and reality of true religion, and promoting the good of mankind\u2026&#8217;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Endorsements &#8216;Some men are known for the hymns they write.
