Hello Gentlemen. The song Amazing Grace had always touched very deeply, though I never truly understood just why. The movie Amistad, years later, would give me those answers. The video you have compiled here has expanded those answers ten-fold. I sit in awe at the amount of detail you have provided. If ever there were a video that deserved to be added to a History course in the higher grades, this is it. I thank you for sharing your vast knowledge of a man's life which truly did come full circle.
Sincerely,
Julie M.

Bloke telling parts of story ,would be Johnathan Aitken ? ,he famous politician, part of M Thatcher's government .I can't remember what for, but he then came into public disgrace and was prosecuted and had to serve a prison sentence , it's good to see him here ,now free & ,talking about J Newton and I think mr Aitken too is a man of deep faith .
