The Life of William Wilberforce

By Michael Webster

In the late 18th century, Britain's immense wealth was fueled by the brutal commerce of the slave trade. It was a business defended by the most powerful men in the empire, and a practice most of society chose to ignore. But one man dared to challenge it.

This is the story of William Wilberforce, a brilliant and charming young politician whose profound spiritual awakening led him to a single, impossible goal: to abolish the Atlantic slave trade and reform his nation's conscience. For decades, he stood against the full force of a powerful and entrenched opposition, facing heartbreaking defeats, personal attacks, and a world that saw his cause as nothing more than a dangerous distraction.

The Life of William Wilberforce is more than a history of a great political victory. It is an intimate portrait of a deeply complex man, exploring his faith, his personal struggles, and the indomitable spirit that sustained him. It is a powerful and timeless narrative of one man's unwavering conviction, and the profound lessons his life holds for us today. Approx.170 pages, 34500 word count
