Reseña del editor:

It is 200 years since the campaign led by William Wilberforce to abolish the slave trade reached its dramatic climax. One of the most deep-rooted convictions of our time is that there is little or nothing the individual can do to alter the events around us. The story of Wilberforce's struggle shows that one preson can make a difference, and thatit is possible to ally integrity and conscience with a successful political career. This book paints an unforgettable picture of Wilberforce the man, and brings vividly to life the personalities and the politics of the fight against the slave trade.

Reseña del editor:

A faith that changed history: this is the story of William Wilberforce's struggle to abolish the Slave Trade and reform the morals of Great Britain. In God's Politician, Garth Lean provides an insightful and stirring account of how Wilberforce and his colleagues in the "Clapham circle" put their faith into action and changed the course of history. Their legacy was one of far-reaching moral renewal as well as testimony to the power of the individual to effect change in his world. Foreword by Charles W. Colson
