I read several quotes from this book to someone. We were just in awe of this man's life. How can we live our lives to the extent this man did. I claim to serve the same Lord as this man, but my level of service is so paltry in comparison.

This is a very good, short summary, of the life of William Wilberforce. The main points of this book focused on:
1) The strong Christian beliefs of Wilberforce,
2) How his faith gave him the strength and endurance to overcome the resistance of the British Parliment over a 43 year period to the slave trade and later to slavery overall in Britian.
3) The joy Wilberforce experienced in his Christian faith.
