The Book Nook: Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery

Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery by Eric Metaxes We return to our Book Nook series every other month this year to talk about books that matter. These are books that are important for Christians today to read to understand how to better understand and address our cultural conversations with Christian truth.  In this episode we discuss the inspiring and convicting story of William Wilberforce and the major part he played in the outlawing of the slave trade in England. How did Wilberforce face down such a gigantic cultural institution like slavery with powerful interests arrayed against him? What were the beliefs and virtues that drove a man like Wilberforce to make this impact on history? What can we learn from Wilberforce to topple the systems of evil we encounter in our own societies today? Welcome to the book nook!
