William Wilberforce-a Practical View of Real Chris

William Wilberforce, the great British statesman, is best known as the driving force in Parliament that ended the slave trade in England. His tireless perseverance and deep-rooted trust in the gospel made him one of England s most effective political leaders. His book Real Christianity shows us the passion that fueled his life. Today, as the gap between real Christianity and cultural Christianity is as wide as it has ever been, it is important to look at Wilberforce as a guide to help us move beyond being a Christian in name only and towards being a dynamic, world-changing follower of Christ.
