"God saved me so that people would look at me and say, 'If God could save John Newton, he can save anyone!"
- John Newton
From a troubled childhood, to enforced service in the Royal Navy where he was such a blasphemous troublemaker that he was traded to a slave ship, God pursued John Newton with relentless love and amazing grace. John Newton, the worst of the worst who became a ringing voice for God, testified of his transformation, along with the work of his friend William Wilberforce, helped turn the heart of a nation against the African slave trade to bring it to an end.
"The slave trade was always unjustifiable, but inattention and personal interest prevented for a time the evil from being perceived."
- John Newton
"You may choose to look the other way, but you can never again say, 'I did not know."
- William Wilberforce
