365 Days with Newton: A unique collection of 365 daily readings from the sermons and hymns of John Newton
John Newton was a rich and princely teacher, a sensitive and caring pastor, and a straight, outspoken guide. His whole ministry bore the marks so evident in his lovely hymns: it was consistently biblical to share the Word of God, spiritual to promote walking with God, simple to make biblical truth and principles plain, and practical to inculcate personal holiness and sound relationships in church and society. In this collection, every day bears these marks, so useful to every believer, so instructive for those called to minister.

Whilst the “365 Days with Spurgeon” volumes are superior, this was a worthwhile journey with many insights not only into the preaching of John Newton but also into his thought (through extracts from letters and his diary) and his songs.
Quite a lot of Scripture passages were repeated, and we do come back to the Transfiguration quite often - and perhaps this is because these areas are where Newton’s preaching was at its strongest...
Well worth adding to your daily devotional time.

A good way to begin or end the day. Christ-centred nuggets from Newton, regularly married with extracts from his excellent hymns.
Scripture passages are suggested to accompany the verses which were the focus of the (mainly) sermons from which the portions are taken.
Newton's style is plain. He is a straight-talking Georgian, not a florid Victorian. The passages regularly challenge the reader to consider their relationship with Jesus and to make sure that what is read in the Bible is beneficial spiritually.

We were given this book early in the year and began using it as a devotional immediately. The friend who gave us this, gave us a great gift! We have grown and benefited from the wisdom of John Newton. His thoughts are timeless as they direct us to God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The friend who gave us this book was taken home a few months ago and this gift has a special place in our hearts.
