February of 1993, Jerry Garcia met with David Grisman and Tony Rice to have an acoustic jam session. Tony's wife asked Jerry to sing Amazing Grace, and he obliged, with Grisman on mandolin and Rice on guitar. Together, the three played one of the most hauntingly poignant versions ever recorded of this classic song.
Undoubtedly saved by his own "amazing grace," John Newton was a slave ship captain turned preacher who wrote the first version of this timeless hymn in the late 1760s. It went on to become one of the most beloved songs in America. Recorded hundreds of times, it resonates as strongly today as it did when it was originally written.
Garcia recorded Amazing Grace for the first time while jamming with Grisman and Rice (recorded on Acoustic Disc's The Pizza Tapes), making it a rare event -- and the inspiration for this book.
Jerry Garcia was an artist, a poet, and a world-renowned musician. "Amazing Grace" is a classic song that has inspired countless generations. Here for the first time, the lyrics of this song are illustrated with a selection of Jerry Garcia's own wildly imaginative artwork, which was painstakingly chosen in cooperation with Deborah Koons Garcia from more than four hundred pieces of her late husband's works.
A CD of the 1993 Garcia/Grisman/Rice recording of Amazing Grace is included in this book, making Jerry Garcia's Amazing Grace a unique keepsake for art and music lovers alike.

John Newton, former slave trader, is best remembered for his outstanding hymn 'Amazing Grace' - an all-time favourite. But Newton was also a prolific correspondent and in 1781 he published Cardiphonia, a selection of his religious correspondence which did much to help the Evangelical revival and was considered by many to be the pinnacle of his writing.The Collected Letters consists of the first section of this work - twenty-six letters to a nobleman, unabridged in this edition - plus a wide selection of other letters. Basing all his counsel in the Bible, Newton covers a range of topics from advice to a student going to college, help for the ill, dying and bereaved, to discussion on various important theological issues. Newton's special gift is to point people to Christ's love, whilst always stressing mankind's need of forgiveness.JOHN NEWTON (1725-I807) spent his early years at sea, eventually as master of an African slave ship. In 1764 he was ordained and offered the parish of Olney, where he wrote his masterpieces.
