Why read it?
1 author picked William Wilberforce as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One of the rare, truly great political heroes of modern history emerges from this engaging biography as a deeply likable character whose pockets were stuffed with books, whose house overflowed with rescued animals, and who was completely aware of what an obnoxious, sarcastic know-it-all he had been as a younger man.

From Shandi's list on Christian biographies to meet lifelong friends.
