"This is a book I strongly recommend." -- Chuck Colson
"It is soul-stirring to sit at the feet of Wilberforce, a man God used to change the world." -- Randy Alcorn
Arguably the most outspoken Christian member of Parliament in the history of England, William Wilberforce changed the course of his nation -- and the world -- with his determination to end the British slave trade. His mentor was none other than John Newton, writer of the song Amazing Grace.
In his classic book, Real Christianity, Wilberforce describes what true Christian faith looks like. As you read his passionate words, you’ll find that Wilberforce’s examination of what it means to have authentic faith in a time of "cultural Christianity" resonates strongly, even today.
Discover how the concepts of sin, evil, and depravity have been watered-down. Find out how the essential beliefs of authentic Christianity have been distorted. Learn how to maintain a Biblical lifestyle. Although written more than 200 years ago, the timeless truths in this book will speak to you in fresh ways. It will also serve as a litmus test of the authenticity of your own spiritual values.
"The gap between "real faith" and "cultural Christianity" is as wide today as at any time in history, so there is much we can learn from William Wilberforce's stirring -- and highly sucessful -- cry for reformation." -- Os Guinness
