Is it really free? Unlimited? Can it save “a wretch like me”? A few years ago I was invited to write a series of radio essays on this greatest of all Bible topics: Amazing grace. I had a lot of fun with it! It’s always been my job, during my radio years, to dig and claw and scratch and find the most memorable illustrations possible. So I went to a lot of Dodger games. I didn’t exactly turn in my receipts, including parking and popcorn, but it was a wonderful experience to try to find ways of making this wonderful theme in Scripture come to life here in the 21st century.

Lewis and also a pastor named Morris Venden – ironically my mom’s cousin!

It’s only thirty seconds of quiet inspiration, but no song in the world has transformed lives like “Amazing Grace.” The haunting message of just four simple lines sweeps away theologies and arguments and presents us with heaven’s one singular rescue mission: God’s grace that flows from Calvary. In these cheerful but poignant chapters, Dan and David Smith go line by line through John Newton’s classic gospel message. If grace could rescue him from his sordid, cynical hell of being captain of a slave ship, can it liberate men and women here in the 21st century? Yes, it can!
