He survived the most incredible storm

In 1774, a sailor named John Newton was caught in a terrible storm at sea. As he was about to drown, he made a promise to God that if he survived the storm, he would dedicate his life to serving God. Incredibly, Newton managed to cling to a piece of driftwood and swim to a deserted island where he was saved.


Keeping his promise, Newton gave up his life as a sailor and became a preacher. He also wrote several famous hymns, including "Amazing Grace," which is considered one of the most beautiful songs in history. But what is even more amazing is that


Newton was once a cruel and selfish man who had spent years treating slaves inhumanely. His conversion to faith was so profound that he eventually became an advocate for the rights of slaves and played an important role in the abolition of slavery in England. His transformation is considered one of the most amazing examples of the power of faith and redemption.
