Before the world-famous hymn, there was the story of amazing grace that liberated a nation. Nineteenth-century England was blind to the evils of slavery, but one man was determined to make them see. Another man set in his wicked career was transformed by God?'s amazing grace and went on to pen one of the most beloved hymns of all time. In the captivating true stories of William Wilberforce, a crusading politician, and John Newton, a notorious slave trader, the best-selling coauthors of the Finding God series once again uncover God?'s hidden agenda. From the stormy Atlantic seas to the raging fury of the British parliament, Kurt Bruner and Jim Ware explore the deep, grace-filled truths in this real-life adventure. Along the way, the authors reveal God?'s grace in our everyday struggles and show how He uses even the smallest of events and weakest of individuals to carry out his ultimate plan in this world. Be inspired by the way God?'s grace changed two men who went on to change their world. Be encouraged by how God?'s grace can work covertly to transform yours.Bruner, Kurt D. is the author of 'Finding God in the Story of Amazing Grace ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781414311814 and ISBN 1414311818.
