> And fourth, many people have had their lives turned around by the Bible. John Newton, who wrote Amazing Grace, ran away to sea as a young man, where "his sinful behavior nearly cost him his life on several occasions." He was captured and sold as a slave to the Africans. After his escape, he met a missionary and became a Christian.
