Synopsis

Amazing Grace has proven to be the most popular song of our time, from the church sphere to
cyber space. Hummed and heard on every continent in this world, Amazing Grace is high on the list of movie studios and a hit on the music scene. The long index of films that have included its powerful presence is a testimony to its enduring power and remarkable popularity in the entertainment world. Also major artists, whether secular or spiritual, on stage or in the studio, have at some time referred to, rehearsed or recorded Amazing Grace as a solo project or with a strong choir - with over 2,000 different releases currently available.

On January 1, 1773, John Newton, a former slave trader, introduced the world to what we now
know (& love) as 'Amazing Grace’. Its lasting legacy is deeply rooted in its living hope message
–YOU CAN NOW LIVE GUILT FREE!!!

In his inspiring Gospel book "The Man & The Story Behind Amazing Grace", Lebanese-born
Australian best selling author, Pastor Peter Rahme, producer of ‘The Life & Legacy of Mr.
Eternity ‘ and 'The Errors & Inaccuracies of The Da Vinci Code ’ gospel resources, explores the
simple facts relating to the life of John Newton and explains the sincere faith required for living
guilt-free.

Pastor Rahme believes "what Mr. Eternity was to Sydney, Amazing Grace is to the world!" "This
was the seed that God planted in the soil of my heart back in 2002,” he said. "Following the
successful project of 'The Life & Legacy of Mr. Eternity' (in print and audio format), came three
years of 'work and labor of love’ to bring forth the fruit of 'The Man & the Story behind Amazing
Grace'. 500,000 copies have already been printed in an abridged Gospel tract format and
distributed nationally (Australia) and internationally.
Foreworded and launched by Australia's William Wilberforce, the Rev. Fred Nile MLC and
endorsed by a large number of Australian (and international) Christian leaders, ‘The Man & the
Story behind Amazing Grace' was recently featured on Daystar Television Network when
Marcus and Joni Lamb invited Pastor Rahme for an in depth interview on their flagship program
‘Celebration’.

From the Foreword by the Rev Hon Fred Nile MLC
“I am honored to write this Foreword for Pastor Peter Rahme’s tribute to John Newton’s amazing hymn – Amazing Grace. Peter, through his own personal faith in Jesus Christ, has developed a unique ability to convey God’s saving work of grace in people’s lives.

Peter lifted up Jesus Christ as Savior when he recorded God’s gift of grace at work in
Arthur Stace’s life – known as “Mr. Eternity” and as presented in the subsequent film. Peter now has achieved the same spiritual success with this new publication of the story of the world famous hymn Amazing Grace and its author John Newton. "
