“My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things, that I am a great sinner, and that Christ is a great Saviour.” ~John Newton (1725-1807), former slave ship captain, at the age of 82
“John Newton, Clerk, once an infidel and libertine, a servant of slaves in Africa, was, by the rich mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, preserved, restored, pardoned, and appointed to preach the faith he had long labored to destroy.” ~John Newton’s Tombstone (December 1807)
