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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Wilberforce: His Friends and His Times I have stated in the Introductory Chapter some of the reasons which have led me, at this time more especially, to offer sketches of a group of eminent persons who, at the end of last century, and early in this century, took a leading part in the cause of Christian philanthropy. Bound together by one sentiment, acting for the most part with great unity of purpose, they left on the character of their times traces which may be plainly discerned in the thoughts and activities of our day.
