Press-ganged onto a man-of-war, he\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efaced death in naval battle, was flogged for deserting his ship, and eventually\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eenslaved and starved in Africa. All because of his passion for ‘Polly’—a girl\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ebeyond his reach. Later, as a slave-ship captain, John’s life was threatened by\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emutinous crews, callous traders, desperate slaves, Barbary pirates, tropical diseases and violent storms. John’s encounter with God in an Atlantic storm transformed him to become the caring Christian pastor of the most influential church in the country. Among his congregation, he could number a Lord Mayor, prominent politicians, wealthy bankers, a national poet, a leading playwright and hundreds of the labouring poor. John’s unfading love for his wife, his wise counsel, his hymns and correspondence and his fight against the slave-trade, influenced the lives of thousands in his day. More than two hundred years after his death his letters and example are as valuable as ever. In this new and fully illustrated edition, the life of John Newton is seen against the colourful and cruel backcloth of the eighteenth-century\u003c\/p\u003e\\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/p\u003e\\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrian Edwards holds a degree in Theology from the University of London.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHe pastored an evangelical church in London and is the author of over\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etwenty books.
