An excellent adventure with an enduring message September 28, 2001 13 out of 15 found this review helpful
The Infidel is a sometimes dark but powerfully moving story of one man's struggle to understand and accept God's faithfulness and divine grace. Mr. Musser crafts a vivid and compelling account of the life of John Newton, a British sea captain and the author of the beloved hymn "Amazing Grace." From Newton's lonely childhood through his tumultuous teenage and adult years aboard various military and slave ships, Mr. Musser expertly crafts this adventure. The story tracks Newton's life through his physical and spiritual journey filled with riches and rags, love and loss, hope and sorrow, debauchery and redemption. I thoroughly enjoyed The Infidel and highly recommend this book for its entertainment value, historical perspective and its ultimate message of redemption through God's truly amazing grace.
Infidel September 22, 2001 13 out of 15 found this review helpful
The "Infidel" is a compelling and powerful story that dramatically captures the struggle for the soul of John Newton, the creator of the famous song "Amazing Grace." Be prepared to be amazed, cry, have a deeper understanding of the depth of God's grace, the terrors of the 16th century slave trade, and the depravity men can sink to apart from God. You will never be able to sing the song, "Amazing Grace" the same way again! This is a book that will touch you to the core!Debra Maffett Wilson Miss America 1983
