HOT PRODUCT TODAY Wilberforce
Born in Hull in 1759, William Wilberforce was destined to become one of Britain’s most influential statesmen, having been influenced himself by men like Whitefield, Wesley and, most of all, John Newton.
Wilberforce introduced his first anti-slave trade motion in the House of Commons in 1788 with a speech that lasted three-and-a-half-hours, appealing to the dictates of conscience, the principals of justice and the law of God.
The motion was defeated but Wilberforce continued his campaign until the slave trade was abolished and went on to fight against slavery itself right up to his death. Just as he died on July 29, 1833, Wilberforce was informed that Parliament had finally agreed to the emancipation of slaves.
His fight is faithfully recorded here as one of the most courageous and vital political battles in history.

John Pollock’s Wilberforce
By Dr Juan D Esquivel
This is one of the most inspiring biographies I have ever read. The researched detail brings to life the man and the era.

A great book about a great man
By W. George
Though written a number of years ago, this is still the best book about Wilberforce, a great English politican, legislator and philantropist whose Christian faith motivated him to aggressively fight for decades to end the British slave trade and to establish the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This is an impressive and affecting book by a thorough, insightful and entertaining author about a man whose works should be better known to more people, and whose like we could use today, again.

Did You Know?
By Matthew Lombardo
It has been rumored by those closest to Morrissey (which is technically nobody) to be the “William” in The Smiths classic “William, it Was Really Nothing”.
