Summary

“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.” So begins one of the most beloved hymns of all time. This is the autobiography of the man who penned those words. John Newton, the self-proclaimed “wretch”,was an active slave trader for several years until, on a homeward voyage through a violent storm, he experienced what he was later to refer to as his “great deliverance.” He tells of the dramatic, real-life events that led him from sin and bondage to a life transformed by God’s grace.

Excellent, v interesting, & worth a few listens

Historically interesting, as well as an open and vulnerable portrait of the man, I would recommend this audiobook

Sack the narrator

The narrators voice is super off putting and the audio came across as somewhat muffled

Thrilling!

Thrilling book. Loved listening to the narrator's voice! Could listen all day! The audio was somewhat quiet so needed to connect my phone to a speaker to listen comfortably.
