God's Politician: William Wilberforce's Struggle

"God's Politician: William Wilberforce's Struggle" is a compelling exploration into the life of William Wilberforce, a man whose deep faith fueled his campaign against the Slave Trade and spurred moral reform across Great Britain. Authored by Garth Lean and featuring a foreword by Charles W. Colson, this narrative delves into the heart of the Clapham Circle—a group of influential thinkers and friends whose spiritual commitment drove them to fight for racial justice and religious freedom. Published in 1987, this book not only recounts the historical efforts that led to the abolition of the slave trade but also celebrates the power of individual conviction to instigate profound societal change. Ideal for adult education settings, this work encourages readers to reflect on how faith and dedicated activism can continue to address and rectify the injustices of our own time.
