John Newton is well-known as the former captain of a slave ship who became a Christian, a minister of the Gospel, and a prolific hymn-writer. In this book we see something of the pastor's heart of Newton as we read from his letters, hymns and other writings, his rich biblical teaching and advice. Arranged in 17 major subjects, and sub-divided into over 50 specific matters, Newton's wise counsel is as relevant today as when first given.
