I have the greatest respect for William Wilberforce and for John Piper, but I'm not sure if this book is one that really needed to be written. Piper offers his own brief perspective on the life of William Wilberforce, a perspective easily obtained by reading a good biography of the British statesman. For readers familiar with Wilberforce and with Piper, there is nothing new here. For readers unfamiliar with Wilberforce, this title doesn't do justice to his magnificent life. A more detailed biography such as the one by Metexas is necessary to get the full impact. For readers unfamiliar with Piper, this book just hints at his views that are so eloquently stated elsewhere. I recommend passing on this title -- I give it two stars only from admiration for both Wilberforce and Piper.

This is a wonderful book to read after seeing the movie Amazing Grace. Wilberforce was truly amazing. While in pain most of the time, he was still full of joy. I shall always remember him as a giant among men. Mr Piper did a good job in bringing out the importance of William Wilberforce.

This book provides a powerful insight into what can be accomplished when an individual has a deep-seated belief and conviction that they are willing to give his/her life's work to bring to pass. Such was true of Wilberforce, and his fierce determination to put an end to the slave trade, and slavery itself, in the British colonies. The book describes with clarity how he succedded in doing just that. Although the vote of victory abolishing the slave trade came in 1807, it was to be just three days before his death on July 26, 1833, that slavery itself was outlawed in the British Colonies. A life's work accomplushed! This is a small book, but very powerful. Great reading! John Piper is to be commended for a book well written.

Wilberforce a hero for all time ~ his steadfast faithfulness, his reliance on the Lord, his compassionate nature, all used for the good of many, in spite of his own sufferings. A mighty little book, that makes you want to know more of this exceptional man of God.

I have been reading John Piper's books since "89" and have gained much from his insight. This was not his best effort. Perhaps the fault is mine. I wanted to really get a feel for Wilberforce and this small pamplet just glosses over what seemes to be a profound life.
