Comment:	It took me a couple of days to read but this is an extremely interesting read. The stuff about Newton's life is fascinating, particularly when in his younger life he was such a failure at everything he did and spent years wanting to get married but unable to do so because he would be sent to sea for years. The history of the song itself is also incredible, particularly when you think that it wasn't really until this century that the famous tune we all know was fully accepted as the hymn's main tune. Steve Turner is a very readable author so you'll whizz through this and every misconception you ever had about Amazing Grace will be settled.
