Wilberforce

"Vivid and painstakingly researched biography." Daily Telegraph

"Wilberforce modeled a combination of Christian principle and tactical genius as relevant in the twenty-first century as in his own time." William Hague

"The biography is the product of much painstaking research. John Pollock has made use of virtually all the extant manuscript collections containing Wilberforce materials. He gives a detailed picture of his life and character which includes some important new information." Observer

William Wilberforce was at the heart of British politics for over forty years but is chiefly remembered as the reformer who campaigned for the abolition of the slave trade in England. This intriguing and insightful biography of his life will inspire you to find ways to stand on your convictions and make a difference wherever you are.

Over four milion copies of his books have been sold in English alone, works that covered the lives of Hudson Taylor, William Wilberforce, and John Wesley. He also wrote The Apostle: A Life of Paul, and served as Billy Graham's official biographer. John and his wife Anne traveled widely in many parts of the world for the purpose of research.
