Book Reviews of William Wilberforce
Book Review: William Wilberforce
Summary: 5 Stars
On reading this compilation of history, theology, part-biography etc.
I must say that the group who put this work together should be
commended. The first chapter tells the story of a legend, who although physically weak, the LORD GOD put into his heart a compassion to fight
for what is eternally right in this mist of life that we have, to defend and help those who are poor, weak, and in need, to exhort and correct those who falsely bear the name Christian, but most importantly, to glorify and honor the Bright and Morning Star, Christ Jesus, the Son of the One True living GOD.
I must say, I truly did enjoy the biography inserted into this work.
William Wilberforce seemed like a very likable creature of God. He was very talented in many aspects of life and the life he lived showed that he used his God given abilities the best he could.
The historical information was also very interesting, and at times
disturbing concerning the way slaves were treated and the way corrupt men
fought with viciousness to keep their wicked slave trade, doing
so with gnashing teeth. It is truly amazing to see what a group of
Christians could do to change the world with the Hand of God pointing them in the right direction, even if it takes decades of hard work.
The book includes excerpts from Wilberforce's A Practical view of Christianity. It included his thoughts on the corrupt human nature
which I truly liked for the reason that he thought and expressed what I
think, far better than I could ever do so.
The book also contains a gallery of the locations relevant to the
history of the slave trade, portraits of Wilberforce as well as
personal letters to Wilberforce from men like John Wesley,
the public's reaction concerning his death, and an audio CD with
excerpts from A Practical View of Christianity.
Overall, this was a marvelous find and it is well worth the price.
