The Infidel: A Novel Based on the Life of John Newton Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Infidel is a sometimes dark but powerfully moving story of one man's struggle to understand and accept God's faithfulness and divine grace. Mr. Musser crafts a vivid and compelling account of the life of John Newton, a British sea captain and the author of the beloved hymn "Amazing Grace." From Newton's lonely childhood through his tumultuous teenage and adult years aboard various military and slave ships, Mr. Musser expertly crafts this adventure. The story tracks Newton's life through his physical and spiritual journey filled with riches and rags, love and loss, hope and sorrow, debauchery and redemption. I thoroughly enjoyed The Infidel and highly recommend this book for its entertainment value, historical perspective and its ultimate message of redemption through God's truly amazing grace.

A faithless wretch of a man in a vile and violent profession, John Newton stood as the infidel, a life lived in opposition to the gospel.Blinded by ambition, he was lost in a sea of greed, money, and power. But this slave ship captain would have an encounter with a grace so amazing that not only would it change him; it would also bless the world with his writing one of the most endearing and enduring hymns of the Christian faith.
