À propos de cet audio
At the center of this heroic life was a passionate 20-year fight to abolish the British slave trade, a battle Wilberforce won in 1807, as well as efforts to abolish slavery itself in the British colonies, a victory achieved just three days before his death in 1833.
Metaxas discovers in this unsung hero a man of whom it can truly be said, "He changed the world." Before Wilberforce, few thought slavery was wrong. After Wilberforce, most societies in the world came to see it as a great moral wrong.
This account of Wilberforce's life will help many to become acquainted with an exceptional man who was a hero to Abraham Lincoln and an inspiration to the anti-slavery movement in America.

As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Many American Christians are making that mistake today, sleepwalking through the erosion of our freedoms. Live Not by Lies will wake them and equip them for the long resistance.

amazing Grace
I had heard the story of the song Amazing Grace and the life of John Newton. I did not know the story of William Wilberforce. Now that I know the story of Wilberforce I want to tell everyone about him. So much of our way of life is due to Wilberforce. Not only the end of slavery, but the way society interacts.
Eric Metaxas tells the life of Wilberforce starting with his childhood. I was captivated from the very start. It was during Wilberforce's childhood that John Newton made an impact on his life. As a foster family, it was encouraging to hear how the influence in Wilberforce life for a short period impacted him for life.
Eric does a great job teaching church history in the book. I heard the stories of many great founders of our faith. I was unaware of how they had impacted each other. The lives of many greats were threaded together.
The book was not an easy read. The language used is at a higher reading level. However, don't let that discourage you. Eric uses a lot of quotes and passages from diaries. I found this so fascinating.
I downloaded the book on Monday. It is Thursday and I am done. I listened while driving the kids around, getting groceries, doing laundry. This is why I love Audible. If you're a busy mom it is a great way to read books, when you have no time to sit down and read.
If you want to read more, but you're overwhelmed about finding time to read, I recommend getting an audiobook. This would be a great book to start your journey.
I absolutely loved his book, and my next audible book will probably be another Eric Metaxas book.
