A Pen Dipped in Love

A selection of John Newton’s most affectionate letters, written to friends, parishioners, and struggling saints. Newton’s pen, truly dipped in love, offers comfort for the downcast, caution for the presumptuous, and courage for the tempted. The letters are short enough to read at bedtime yet rich enough to fuel morning meditation. A taste of pastoral care from the slave-trade captain who never forgot the pit out of which he was lifted.
