"Slave Ship Captain: The Story of John Newton" by Carolyn Scott follows the life of John Newton, a man who transformed from a captain of slave ships to a devout Christian minister and abolitionist. The narrative explores Newton's early years, marked by involvement in the transatlantic slave trade, and his eventual moral awakening after experiencing a life-changing storm at sea. The story delves into his struggles with guilt and redemption as he renounces his previous life, becoming an advocate for the abolition of slavery and composing the famous hymn "Amazing Grace." Newton's journey highlights themes of forgiveness, faith, and social justice. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
