Written over 250 years ago, Amazing Grace remains the most famous English hymn in history. This powerful documentary takes us on a journey through the remarkable yet contradictory life of John Newton – and the surprising story behind his song.
Overview
Amazing Grace is the surprising true story of John Newton, author of the song that has touched countless millions. This powerful documentary reveals Newton’s dramatic story of sin and salvation as a slave trader before his ultimate transformation to speaking out against the horror of slavery. His story speaks to the brokenness within us all and our need for God’s amazing grace—and reveals the truth behind his song.
Based on years of research, John Newton’s story is shocking, and Amazing Grace: The Real Story does not try to airbrush or excuse his faults. Newton is a man of glaring contradictions who rejects God repeatedly but is rescued by a divine mercy that reaches deeper than he could ever have imagined as he ultimately faces his past and repents.
In these days of extreme polarization when beliefs about race, church, and politics have all become deeply divisive in society, we need grace more than ever. We need stories like this one that talk honestly about the human condition but even more about the relentless love of God and his forgiveness of sins.
