While in New York we went to a Broadway musical. It was the first for both of us and we loved it. "Amazing Grace" is the story of John Newton who progressed from callous slave trader of the 1700's . . to repentance . . to Christian priest working to end the slave trade in England.
The musical opened last October in Chicago. Now it's on Broadway and I'm glad it's done very well.
Next time you hear the hymn, picture Newton's mindset as he wrote it because now you know the choices he made.
