## Resource

John Newton's early years were marked by rebellion, sin, and involvement in the slave trade. But through God’s transformative grace, Newton’s life was changed after a storm at sea led to his conversion. Join John Bradshaw on location in England and discover how his newfound faith set him on a path to become both a compelling preacher and an advocate for the abolitionist movement.
