Fought to abolish slavery
Amazing story for all young people to hear
This exciting story shows how faith in Christ and love for people can transform a nation. Thousands of men, women and children were separated and sold before slavery was abolished. One man fought to bring freedom and relief from the terrors of the slave trade; it took him forty–five years. His name was William Wilberforce.

William Wilberforce recorded many intimate details about his spiritual life, and thanks to Michael McMullen’s painstaking work, many of them are published here for the first time. This book is an inestimable treasure – it draws back the curtain on Wilberforce’s struggles and rejoicings in his own words as he wrestled both with himself and all that God had called him to be and do.

"The abolition of slavery in the U.K. has an anniversary in the year 2007. This is why teachers, sunday school teachers and children's workers should make sure they stock up on Wilberforce material in the run up to this. A film on Wilberforce's life is also being launched in 2006. Make the most of these events and get Christian books into children's homes on the back of them!"

... It is great to see the stories of these Christian heroes made available to older children and teenagers.
"A story deserving to be told to a new generation."
