A gripping tale of John Newton's life,
By
This review is from: Devil on the Deck: A Stirring Adventure about John Newton's Discovery of Amazing Grace (Hardcover)
John Newton is remembered for writing the hymn "Amazing Grace", but the first part of his life was spent as a slaver, a murderer, a deserter, a liar and a violent man. Most of this book tells of his life before his conversion, and the author has a gritty, punchy and colorful style which brings it to life and keeps you on the edge of your seat as he barely escapes the perils of the sea, African jungle, and demons. Despite having a death wish and living such a dangerous life, it seemed that God always intervened just enough to make sure he didn't die! and finally the light dawned on him that being an awful sinner wouldn't prevent him from being forgiven and saved. A thoroughly absorbing read.
