William Wilberforce: A Hero for Humanity

Author: Kevin Belmont

Dramatized in the major motion picture Amazing Grace, the story of William Wilberforce is the remarkable account of how one mans vision, courage, and relentless pursuit of justice brought freedom to thousands and changed the course of history.



That the greatest and most successful reformer in all history is almost unknown today is a crying shame. Kevin Belmonte puts this right with his inspiring study of an inspiring life.

Dr. Os Guinness, author of Unspeakable: Facing Up to the Challenge of Evil



An excellently researched and insightfully written biography I applaud its sound scholarship and commend its perceptive insights into a great life.

Brian Sibley, author of C. S. Lewis: Through the Shadowlands
