Om The Life of John Newton 约翰-牛顿自传
John Newton was an English sailor and Anglican clergyman. Starting his career on the sea at a young age, he became involved with the slave trade for a few years. After experiencing a religious conversion, he became a minister, hymn-writer, and later a prominent supporter of the abolition of slavery. He was the author of many hymns, including Amazing Grace and Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken. 这是一本书信体自传,为我们了解作者传奇般的一生提供了详实、可信的第一手资料。 第一部分,是约翰-牛顿与牧师间的往来书信,他用14封信讲述了自己一生的坎坷经历,包括早年航海生涯的种种痛苦,从事贩卖奴隶贸易的遭遇,以及后来生命中奇妙的转变。 第二部分,收录了作者追忆、悼念亡妻的诗文,文中流露的挚爱深情令人潸然,而他们从信仰而来的平静安然,又给人极大的鼓励。 第三部分,收录了约翰-牛顿描述信徒属灵生命三阶段的三封重要书信:《在恩典中发苗》、《在恩典中长穗》和《在恩典中结实》。这些文章帮助过很多人,让他们的生命发生改变,建立正确的信仰基础。
