- Summary
- "An incredibly moving picture book biography of the man behind the hymn 'Amazing Grace' and the living legacy of the song Caldecott Honor - winning author Carole Boston Weatherford and award-winning illustrator Frank Morrison. One stormy night at sea, a wayward man named John Newton feared for his life. In his darkest hour he fell to his knees and prayed - and somehow the battered ship survived the storm. Grateful, he changed his ways and became a minister, yet he still owned a slave ship. But in time, empathy touched his heart. A changed man, he used his powerful words to help end slavery in England. Those words became the hymn 'Amazing Grace,' a song that has lifted the spirit and given comfort across time and all over the world" --
