Download or read book Amazing Grace written by Eric Metaxas and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Amazing Grace written by Jonathan Kozol and published by Crown. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amazing Grace is Jonathan Kozol’s classic book on life and death in the South Bronx—the poorest urban neighborhood of the United States. He brings us into overcrowded schools, dysfunctional hospitals, and rat-infested homes where families have been ravaged by depression and anxiety, drug-related violence, and the spread of AIDS. But he also introduces us to devoted and unselfish teachers, dedicated ministers, and—at the heart and center of the book—courageous and delightful children. The children we come to meet through the friendships they have formed with Jonathan defy the stereotypes of urban youth too frequently presented by the media. Tender, generous, and often religiously devout, they speak with eloquence and honesty about the poverty and racial isolation that have wounded but not hardened them. Amidst all of the despair, it is the very young whose luminous capacity for love and transcendent sense of faith in human decency give reason for hope.

Download or read book Living by Grace written by Okezie Ofoegbu and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the phrase "I am saved by grace," as paraphrased from Ephesian 2:8, is a frequent mantra in Christian circles, it is just as frequently misunderstood. The tendency to add legalism to salvation can cause faith in Jesus Christ to read like a job description-if you don't meet the listed qualifications, you cannot be saved. This can lead to self-condemnation and doubt and can cause you to ask the question, "Am I really saved?" This book, Living by Grace, will not only help you to answer that question but will help you to live out the life you have received from the Lord by Grace. Many Christians know that they are saved by Grace, but they go back to the law to try to live AFTER being saved. This book shows how those who have been saved by Grace can also live daily by the same Grace that saved them rather than reverting to the law. Paul the Apostle's Letter to the Galatians focuses on justification by faith alone, apart from the works of the law of Moses. Author and pastor Okezie Ofoegbu provides reflections from the book of Galatians to help straying Christians get back on track to living in the freedom of God's Grace. Living by Grace is certain to be a blessing to those who are caught up in the throes of legalism and living according to the law.
