HIS FAITH STIRRED THE CONSCIENCE OF A NATION

He believed that slavery was strong; and with his classic book, Real Christianity, William Wilberforce set out to describe for people an authentic expression of the Christian faith. In doing so, he changed the course of a nation- and the world.

In this modern paraphrase of a contemporary classic, Bob Beltz introduces you to a set of principles critical in living an authentic Christian life. As you read his authentic faith in a time of cultural Christianity resonates strongly, even today.

Learn how to maintain a biblical lifestyle. Although written more than 200 years ago, the timeless truths in this book will speak to you in fresh ways. It will also serve as a litmus test of the authenticity of your own spiritual values.

"Bob Beltz's adaptation of Wilberforce's original work will provide a needed challenge to all of us, because we're all constantly tempted to let an on-fire, vibrant, world-changing faith cool to a lukewarm 'conventional Christianity'."

-Brian McLaren, author/activist (brianmclaren.net)

"The gap between 'real faith' and 'cultural Christianity' is as wide today as at any time in history, so there is much we can learn from William Wilberforce's stirring-and highly successful-cry for reformation."

-Os Guinness, author of Unspeakable: Facing Up to the Challenge of Evil

"It's sou-stirring to sit at the feet of Wilberforce, a man God used to change the world."

-Randy Alcorn, author of Heaven and Safely Home
