William Wilberforce: Freedom Fighter

$8.00

by Betty Steele Everett

A rising star in British politics, young William Wilberforce led a life of privilege and power. Then he turned to Christ, and the Lord changed the focus of his heart. As a newly converted Member of the English House of Commons, he spent the rest of his long and honored political career promoting the freedom and rights of slaves.

A contemporary of John Newton and John Wesley, this short, unassuming man waged a lonely battle against the slave trade in 19th-century England, with the only weapon he had: a strong and melodious speaking voice. Dubbed the “Nightingale of the House of Commons,” his outspoken criticism of those who profited by this inhumane treatment eventually led to its end and the freedom of all slaves.

Betty Steele Everett traces the fascinating story of one man’s tireless fight for human liberty.
