John Newton was far, far more than merely the author of the hymn "Amazing Grace!" He was an ex-sea captain, preacher and hymn-writer, but above all he was a shepherd of souls. In Newton's letters we can see the personal, practical, warmth with which he gave counsel to his friends and parishoners. His spiritual advice is just as relevant today as the day he first put pen to paper.
