Kregel Title Recommended by Authors and Director of Amazing Grace

Out of the Depths by John Newton, revised and updated for today's readers by Dennis Hillman, is the sole recommended reading from the authors and director of Amazing Grace, a musical based on the life of John Newton.

"John Newton's transformation from a money-chasing slave trader to grace-proclaiming Christian pastor is one of history's greatest stories," noted Hillman, who is also the publisher for Kregel Publications. "That his account of that transformation has endured for over three hundred years and is the subject of books, films, and now stage productions is ample testimony of its power."

Amazing Grace, a world premiere musical, was showing in limited engagement through November 2, 2014 at the Bank of America Theater in Chicago. More information can be found on the official website, amazinggracemusical.com.
