Скачать или смотреть "Precious Bible! What a Treasure" | Congregational Singing

The Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. has an ancient-looking Bible in their collection with a poem written on the inside cover. The poem was hand-written by John Newton, the former slave trader turned pastor best known for writing “Amazing Grace.” The poem begins, “Precious Bible! what a treasure,” and reflects Newton’s deep love for God’s Word.

Though this Bible maybe didn’t belong to Newton himself, the handwriting is unmistakably his. It’s a quiet, personal glimpse into the heart of a man transformed by grace. Newton wrote hundreds of hymns, always pointing people to Christ. One of his most lasting influences was on William Wilberforce, the British politician who led the fight to end the slave trade. When Wilberforce considered leaving politics for ministry, Newton urged him to stay and serve God in Parliament. God used that decision to eventually close down all British slave trade.
