Item description for Letters and Reflections to My Adopted Daughters by Jody Moreen...
Amazing Grace transformed John Newton from a wretched sea captain of slave ships to a passionate pas-tor and hymn writer. Grace further equipped Newton, who was childless, to become a tender, loving, and compassionate father. He adopted his 2 orphaned nieces Elizabeth and Eliza. Newton took no courses in parenting, nor did he have the opportunity to read the countless volumes of self help books on child rearing that grace bookstore shelves today. He wholly relied on the guidance of his heavenly Father. Through prayer and the reading of the Bible, he discipled his daughters in the love and counsel of the Lord. It is clearly evident in the compilation of these letters and memoirs to his daughters that he embraced the words of 3 John:4 "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." Newton's godly mother faithfully instructed him in the truth through prayer and the reading of the Scriptures. She died when he was only six years of age and left him to be raised by his irreligious father. What joy and thanksgiving would fill her heart to know that the seeds of truth that she sewed in the life of her young son grew and blossomed. Newton accepted God's gift of salvation as an adult and further shared this gift with his own children.

Reviews - What do customers think about Letters and Reflections to My Adopted Daughters?
 | Words of Wisdom for Everyone! Feb 2, 2006 |
The words from Amazing Grace have touched and blessed thousands of people for many years. We have all heard John Newton's story of his life from slave ships to salvation. What many people don't know, is that he was also the adopted father of two of his nieces. That same spiritual insight which penned the words of Amazing Grace, penned many letters to his daughters. Jody Moreen has compiled and edited those letters into a convenient slim-line book, "Letters to my Adopted Daughters." John Newton's timeless love and gentle "words of wisdom" for his daughters shines through on every page. Whether you are a part of the adoption triad, or a Christian looking for guidance, you will find it in these inspirational pages. A definite "must read."
| | | | Wonderful Counseling in this book.... Jun 21, 2005 |
Jody Moreen's find and sharing of these letters originally written by John Newton, author of "Amazing Grace," is a wonderful and enjoyable read. It shows us how we miss so much in help and teachings to our own children, by not writing letters such as Mr. Newton did, and how we miss passing on Christian values and wisdom to our children.
This book is a wonderful gift to those family and friends in our lives. It is especially a wonderful gift for a father to give his daughter, adopted or not.
