Church Leadership & Ministry

“Drawing from a wealth of original material, Keith Palmer identifies Newton as ‘the pastoral counsellor par excellence of the eighteenth century,’ gleaning valuable lessons for biblical counselling today. He concludes that Newton’s ministry ‘is a largely untapped resource for pastoral care’, urging further study of his compassionate application of biblical principles.”

Newton on the Christian Life

Christian Living

“This book presents valuable lessons from the ministry of John Newton. His perception of grace permeated his theology, his thinking, his experience, his hopes, his ministry, and even his dying. As Reinke writes, grace was ‘the air he breathed.’ Here we catch glimpses into the workings of Newton’s heart as he focused unreservedly on living for and through the Lord Jesus Christ.”
