Newton, known for penning the great hymn, Amazing Grace, was also a prolific writer of letters. He took to the quill with pipe lit and fire burning in the hearth on many evenings, attempting a response to all who wrote him. Newton was a keen observer of human behavior and brought many sound words of comfort to those he pastored. In the many addresses over the course of his life, one thing is evident: to Newton, Christ is all. His vision of the Christian life centers on Christ's all sufficiency. His parting words were these: "My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things: that I am a great sinner and that christ is a great Savior" (49). This work is a terrific look at the Christ-centeredness of the Christian life through the eyes of John Newton, masterfully written by Tony Reinke. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

John Newton is best known as the slave trader turned hymn writer who penned the most popular English hymn in history: "Amazing Grace." However, many Christians are less familiar with the decades he spent in relative obscurity, laboring as a "spiritual doctor" while pastoring small parishes in England. In the latest addition to Crossway's growing Theologians on the Christian Life series, Tony Reinke introduces modern readers to Newton's pastoral wisdom by leading them through the many sermons, hymns, and--most importantly--letters that he wrote over the course of his life. Considered by many to be one of the greatest letter writers of all time, Newton has valuable insights to offer modern Christians, especially when it comes to fusing together sound doctrine, lived experience, and godly practice. Part of the Theologians on the Christian Life series. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Através das palavras de Newton e de Tony – uma só voz – Deus faz uma cirurgia nos olhos do coração, para que vejamos a Cristo mais inteiramente. E mais inteiramente significa vê-lo como mais precioso. E mais precioso significa mais poderoso para nos curar e nos mudar. Focado implacavelmente na doçura e na grandiosidade de Cristo como nosso Salvador e como aquele que satisfaz nossas almas, sobre este livro tremula a bandeira de John Newton: ‘Ninguém além de Jesus’.
