William Wilberforce (1759-1833) led the twenty-year fight to abolish the British slave trade. Wilberforce found ‘nothing more effectual than private prayer, and the serious perusal of the New Testament.’ Intimately acquainted with ‘the rough and stormy sea of politics,’ he insisted that ‘in the calmness of the morning you have a season of unusual importance for communing with God.’ Drawing directly from Wilberforce’s writings, the selections in this book illustrate how God sustained and guided him. Those who seek to walk their pilgrim’s progress aright will find much to ponder, pray over and treasure.
