John Piper recounts the story of William Wilberforce: his fight for the abolition of the African slave trade and against slavery in the British Empire, and the beliefs and motivations that drove him for decades in the face of obstacles.
John Piper's succinct and superbly perceptive study of William
Wilberforce deserves to become an acclaimed bestseller. It not only tells
the story of a great man's life--it also tells us how to understand the
ultimate source of his greatness and happiness. Moreover, that
understanding goes far deeper than the abolitionist achievements for which
Wilberforce is honored, astounding though they were. William Wilberforce's
secret, as revealed in this book, was that he made the journey from
self-centeredness, achievement-centeredness, and political-centeredness to
God-centeredness. And he made it with Christlike joy.
