“This book, by one of the brightest writers in contemporary evangelicalism, ex- amines the life lessons of a hymn writer, a freedom fighter, and a gospel preacher. Even if you don’t think you like church history, you will love this book. Reinke ties Newton’s life and thought to practical applications for every believer. I encourage you to read and savor anew the grace that saved wretches like us.”
author, Tempted and Tried “You may think you are acquainted with John Newton: converted slave trader, pas- tor, writer of the hymn ‘Amazing Grace.’ Get ready to meet the man you only think you know. Reinke guides us on a tour of Newton’s theology through his life and letters. This book is pastoral theology at its finest. Newton was a man captured by Christ, exalting Christ, and caring for God’s people by pointing them to Christ and him crucified.” C. J. Mahaney, Senior Pastor, Sovereign Grace Church of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky “Although John Newton authored what would become America’s best-loved hymn, his contemporaries thought his best gift was letter writing. Rarely, if ever, has so much wisdom, love, sanity, balance, genuine affection, and wonderfully down-to- earth-because-full-of-heaven practical counsel been expressed in letters written in the English language. Underneath them all runs knowledge of the Word of God, a devotion to the Son of God, and a love for the people of God. Newton makes us feel, even two centuries later, that he was writing for us, and that he knew us well. Reinke has done the whole church a service by recovering Newton’s letters from obscurity. Newton on the Christian Life is a taste of spiritual manna that will make us want to read the letters of Newton for ourselves.” Sinclair B. Ferguson, Professor of Systematic Theology, Redeemer Seminary, Dallas, Texas “This book presents valuable lessons from the ministry of John Newton. His per- ception of grace permeated his theology, his thinking, his experience, his hopes, his ministry, and even his dying. As Reinke writes, grace was ‘the air he breathed.’ Here we catch glimpses into the workings of Newton’s heart as he focused un- reservedly on living for and through the Lord Jesus Christ.”
