Amazing Grace - How Sweet the Sound

di Sidney St. James (Autore)

BeeBop Publishing Group, 2025

A man once chained by greed. A city divided by truth. A hymn that would outlive them all. John Newton was not born a saint. He was a sailor, a slave trader, a man consumed by ambition and sin. Yet in the howling storms of the Atlantic and the shadow of chains clanging in his ship's hold, he encountered a mercy fierce enough to break him — and remake him. Amazing Grace is a sweeping historical novel that transforms Newton's autobiography into a suspenseful, emotionally charged journey of faith, betrayal, and redemption. From the brutal decks of slave ships to the frostbitten streets of Liverpool, Newton battles his haunted past while daring to preach a gospel that divides the very city he loves. Merchants threaten him. Friends beg him to stop. Death shadows his every step. And yet his voice rises, fierce and unyielding: "I once was lost, but now am found." With each chapter, the tension tightens. Can a man with blood on his hands truly speak of Grace? Can his frail body withstand the storm of enemies gathering in the streets? Or will his final breath be silenced before the hymn is finished? Richly detailed and relentlessly moving, this novel captures the drama of an age when conscience clashed with commerce, when truth split cities in half, and when one man's song became the anthem of the oppressed and the hopeful alike. Readers will feel the spray of saltwater on their faces, hear the roar of mobs outside chapel doors, and stand trembling with Newton as he pens the final verses of the hymn that would echo through centuries. At once suspenseful and deeply emotional, Amazing Grace is not just the story of John Newton. It is the story of how a single song — born of storms, chains, and tears — rose to become the most beloved hymn of all time.
