ReviewsThe little-known story of the lifelong struggle of a member of Parliament to abolish slavery in the British Empire., "A fine and important book." -- Chicago Sun-Times "The little-known story of the lifelong struggle of a member of Parliament to abolish slavery in the British Empire." -- USA Today
SynopsisNow available in paperback, this short, popular biography of England's heroic abolitionist commemorates the 200th anniversary of the defeat of slavery and is the official tie-in book for the movie Amazing Grace by Walden Media, Amazing Grace tells the story of the remarkable life of the British abolitionist William Wilberforce (1759-1833). This accessible biography chronicles Wilberforce's extraordinary role as a human rights activist, cultural reformer, and member of Parliament. At the center of this heroic life was a passionate twenty-year fight to abolish the British slave trade, a battle Wilberforce won in 1807, as well as efforts to abolish slavery itself in the British colonies, a victory achieved just three days before his death in 1833. Metaxas discovers in this unsung hero a man of whom it can truly be said: he changed the world. Before Wilberforce, few thought slavery was wrong. After Wilberforce, most societies in the world came to see it as a great moral wrong. To mark the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the British slave trade, HarperSanFrancisco and Bristol Bay Productions have joined together to commemorate the life of William Wilberforce with the feature-length film Amazing Grace and this companion biography, which provides a fuller account of the amazing life of this great man than can be captured on film. This account of Wilberforce's life will help many become acquainted with an exceptional man who was a hero to Abraham Lincoln and an inspiration to the anti-slavery movement in America., This biography of England's heroic abolitionist commemorates the 200th anniversary of the ending of slavery in the United Kingdom William Wilberforce (1759-1833) has been hailed as a one of society's great reformers. His great goal was the abolition of the slave trade and of slavery in England, and in Amazing Grace, the true story of his remarkable life and meaningful accomplishments leap off the page. Beginning with Wilberforce's religious conversion in 1784 that led him to life of activism, the book chronicles his extraordinary contributions to the world, primarily his 20-year fight to abolish the British slave trade, a battle he won in 1807. He was also instrumental in passing legislation to abolish slavery in the British colonies, a victory achieved just three days before his death in 1833. Wilberforce was a hero to Abraham Lincoln and an inspiration to the anti-slavery movement in America, and the account of his life in Amazing Grace will help many more become reacquainted with this exceptional man.

Inspiring, convicting and a treasure to read
The author has an amazing ability to draw the reader in--and his writing is literally 'delightful'--very captivating. I have read other books about William Wilberforce, as he has been someone who I have admired and appreciated through the years, but this book is bringing his character so alive to me that it leaves any questions I may have about his life completely covered. An excellent, well-written and inspiring book. A must read!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
