A Seafaring Soul

Born in 1725 in London, England, Newton's early life was marked by rebellion and adventure. He ran away from home at the age of 11 and joined the Royal Navy, where he experienced the harsh realities of seafaring life. However, a series of near-death experiences led him to question his faith and seek solace in the Bible.

This powerful testimony of redemption and forgiveness has become one of the most beloved hymns in Christian history.

Newton's conversion was not a sudden transformation but a gradual process of spiritual growth. His writings reflect the depths of his struggles with doubt, temptation, and despair, but they also reveal the unwavering hope and assurance he found in the grace of God.
