A review by Joy Budensiek, reviewer: "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 orphaned 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 slimline 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. Available on www.adoptionshop.com and other online book stores.
