‘Amazing Grace’ is the compelling and moving biography of the Member of Parliament who dedicated his entire life to abolishing slavery from the British colonies, William Wilberforce (1759-1833).

In an age where very few thought slavery was unjust, William Wilberforce fought for what he thought was right – freedom for all. It took twenty painstaking years of political and cultural struggles for this brave Member of Parliament to lead the parliamentary bill for the abolishment of slavery in 1807. His heroic campaign is now considered one of the biggest human rights triumphs in human history, and he has become a powerful role model to Christians and non-Christians alike.

Penned by Eric Metaxas, bestselling biographer of ‘Bonhoeffer’, this incredible true story has all the twists and turns of a modern day thriller – deception, danger, betrayal, and unrelenting passion for justice. Read 'Amazing Grace' and discover many sides to the man who changed the world – cultural reformer, passionate politician, man of faith – and be inspired to live in his footsteps.

This is a fascinating and enlightening new biography of William Wilberforce, best known for his ultimately successful fight to make the slave trade and slavery illegal. Eric Metaxas shows that Wilberforce achieved something very few in history have managed—he changed the whole of civilised society’s attitude. Although there is still slavery today, no government and no society believes slavery is right. The exact opposite was the case when Wilberforce began his campaign at the end of the 18th century. We find at the centre of Wilberforce’s life was his Saviour, the Lord Jesus. We see faith in action. He sacrificed his own political ambitions and spent much of his fortune to improve the lot of his fellow man and society. Anyone considering entering politics should read this book. Anyone wanting to understand how their faith should affect their life should read this book. In fact everyone should read this book. It will challenge and inspire you to think: What does the Lord want me to do?
