Synopsis

Just in time for the release of Amazing Grace, the movie about the life of William Wilberforce. This edition of his classic book from 1797, Real Christianity, is paraphrased in modern language and made more accessible to contemporary readers. This is the book that helped abolish the slave trade in the United Kingdom and called Christians to live a more authentic life of faith more than two hundred years ago. The timeless truths it contains will speak to readers in fresh ways today. Christians who eschew cultural Christianity in favor of a real faith in Christ, will find the principles here thought-provoking and applicable. The social justice orientation will appeal to readers of Jim Wallis, Os Guinness, Charles Colson, Shane Claiborne, John Perkins, Bono, and Nancy Pearcey. Readers will also find the book is a good litmus test of the authenticity of their own faith.

About this title

Book Description:

Real Christianity is a call to Christians to know what they believe, and then live accordingly.

From the Back Cover:

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 soul-stirring to sit at the feet of Wilberforce, a man God used to change the world.' -- Randy Alcorn, author of Heaven and Safely Home '
