Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery by Eric Metaxas

Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery by Eric Metaxas -- 304 pages


This is a biography of William Wilberforce, the man at the heart of the end of the British slave trade. Not only did Wilberforce help to end the slave trade, he also changed the hearts and minds of the British people, who before then never valued service to the poor or help for those less fortunate.
William Wilberforce has always been one of my heroes, and Eric Metaxas does a wonderful job portraying his life, his work, and his passion.
