Real Christianity by William Wilberforce

This is a book that I have been wanting to read for quite some time now. William Wilberforce was one of the driving forces behind ending the British slave trade and eventually slavery throughout Great Britain. The movie Amazing Grace is about him. I knew he had written this book and was anxious to get my hands on a copy. Unfortunately versions in the original 18th century English are pretty expensive. I read a modern language version. I still would dearly like to own an original language version, because after all I can understand quite a bit of what the Bible says for instance.
But, I digress.
I highly highly recommend this book. I have actually already loaned it out. I think its message is so absolutely timely for us today. He discusses authentic faith as opposed to cultural faith. He really understood some important Gospel principles. He also discusses the great need that his nation at that time had for authentic faith. In some passages I would say out loud "William did you write this about today?" It just really fits. He talks about that the most patriotic thing we can do is live with authentic faith, because that more than anything else will have the greatest positive effect on our nation.
Amazing book. Please please read and please pass it on to others. I've been telling people all week they should read it.
