Description
A youth biography in the "Trailblazers" series by the skillful Mrs. Howat, author of the famed "Ten Boys / Ten Girls" series. John Newton, a worker on a slave trading ship, with hard heart glad to make money in the ruthless business of selling souls for work, would soon become a servant himself of the Lord Jesus Christ and would be preaching to offering men the freedom known only in Him!
Level: Ages 8-12 can read it themselves; ages 5-7, read aloud to them.
John stood and watched, as some of the largest waves he had ever seen threw themselves at the ship. Very little stood between the young slave ship captain and death - and he knew it! His panic and fear made him think only of himself and nothing for the hundreds of men, women and children chained in the hold below.
However, God still heard John Newton's prayers and the cries of the tortured humanity pleading for mercy and justice. The very man selling them into slavery would soon fight for their freedom. John Newton was one of the worst abusers of the African slave, as he traveled the oceans to make money from their misery - but in the end, his life was changed and so were theirs.
