Amazing Grace

A companion biography to Walden Media’s major feature film (April 2007) by the same name, that tells the story of England’s heoric abolitionist on the 200th anniversary of the defeat of slavery.

Hero to Abraham Lincoln and an inspiration to the anti-slavery movement in America, Wilberforce worked tirelessly for the cessation of slavery in England. In this magisterial biography, Metaxas chronicles Wilberforce’s conversion to evangelical Christianity and his 20-year battle to abolish the slave trade in the British empire. An extraordinary portrait of a true Christian statesman.
