Amazing Grace

William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery

Ranked #85 in Church History

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.
