Press-ganged into the navy at nineteen, flogged for desertion and separated from the girl he loves, John Newton feels he has nothing to live for. Making his way in the harsh world of the 18th century transatlantic slave trade he is a man beyond redemption. Then one stormy night, with his ship going down, he faces death ... and nothing is the same again. This is a powerfully moving story of slavery, freedom and the remarkable power of love and grace to transform a life.
