Book Reviews of Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery
Book Review: A Great Biography On Wilberforce!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Amazing Grace" is a great biography on William Wilberforce, a main figure in the fight to outlaw slavery in the British Empire.
Among the topics covered:
1. Wilberforce's early life and coming to faith in Christ after living wasted years pursuing pleasure.
2. Various relationships with other leaders of his era (William Pitt, John Newton, William Cowper, John Wesley, Granville Sharp, Hannah More, etc.).
3. Challenges he faced while combatting slavery.
4. Lifelong health problems.
5. Happy marriage and home life.
While others did not like the writing style, I found it to be smooth and well-organized. The style is not necessarily "intellectual" in its approach and appears to be targeted towards readers who want an easy and informative read.
Read and enjoy. Recommended!
