In this first mini-episode (“minisode”) we will hear the text of a letter by the 18th century British pastor John Newton (best known as the author of the lyrics to the hymn “Amazing Grace”). In it, Newton writes of the importance of the one thing needed, that is a relationship to God in Christ.
A link to an online copy of the text of the letter can be found here at Reformed Reader.
