Book Reviews of Amazing Grace in the Life of William Wilberforce
Book Review: Motivating force in Wilberforce
Summary: 5 Stars
Jonathan Aitken writes a glowing apprciation of this book in his foreword but John Piper is the author of the book. If you want a brief biography of Wilberforce this is the one to read. It is short and easy to read and tells you what motivated the great reformer. It was his evangelical Christian faith which he evidenced in a joyful personality despite his long struggle to abolish the slave trade, his personal infirmities and problems with his errant eldest son. This was a man who was transformed by his Christian faith. He could probably have been prime minister, but he eschewed personal advancement. If I have one small criticism it is that Piper has produced something of an hagiography with no really critical evaluation of Wilberforce. For this one should read Tomkins. For the answers to Wilberforce's critics, read Hague.
