John Newton is shown how he really was before conversion. I appreciate how the author also shares struggles that Newton had in his sanctification after salvation.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite quote is from John Newton as he was in his last days,<strong> \u201cMy dear friends, my memory is now almost gone. But there are two things that I can still remember perfectly well. I can remember what a great sinner I was, and I can remember what a great Savior Jesus Christ is!\u201d (Page 124)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Personal Application: It is a blessing to read over the words of the hymn \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d seeing where the author had been and how he had seen the truths of the song in his own life. It is humbling and encouraging to realize that God\u2019s grace is just as great and amazing in my own life.<\/p>\n<p>Stars: 4.5 out of 5<\/p>\n<p>It would be worth another read and I would recommend it.<\/p>\n<p>If this review was helpful, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/review\/R3VEIBHDBM6CN4\/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1618432761&amp;linkCode=&amp;nodeID=&amp;tag=\" target=\"_blank\">please let us know here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Newton: The Angry Sailor by\u00a0Kay Marshall Strom\u00a0 Product Details Paperback: 125 pages Publisher: Moody Press\u00a0 Point: Strom shows how God can change lives and save sinners.
