Amazing Grace by Eric Metaxas - Amazing Grace - an account of one man's determination on behalf of others

Amazing Grace tells the story of the remarkable life of the British abolitionist William Wilberforce (1759-1833). This accessible biography chronicles Wilberforces 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 Wilberforces 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.

Amazing Grace - an account of one man's determination on behalf of others


Excellent account of one of the most important events in the history of Great Britain which had a direct effect on America some years later. This is an outstanding example of the impact one young person can have on a nation and subsequently the world by following the instincts of his heart and remaining true to his mission for the long term benefit of his countrymen. The way we conduct our daily lives as it relates to those less fortunate all around us is a direct result of the passion displayed by Wm. Wilberforce regarding the responsibility of those that have for those that have not.
