These spiritual journals will give readers insight into the heart
and mind of one of Britain17s leading abolitionists.nbspWilliam
Wilberforce (1759111833) is best remembered as a leading
figure in the movement to have the slave trade abolished
throughout the British Empire. He was a Member of Parliament
from the age of 21 until he retired due to ill health at the age of
66. His conversion in 1785 caused him to change his lifestyle
and to commit his future life and work to the service of
God.nbspHe wrote a series of spiritual journals as a record of
his spiritual pilgrimage. These journals are an honest record of
Wilberforce17s spiritual life: the Scriptures and Christian books
he read people he met people he witnessed to his spiritual and
physical struggles and many other fascinating
insights.nbspThroughout his writings his constant desire to be
a better Christian is striking. This man, admired by many, saw
himself as a sinner, and his diaries are filled with his striving to
put this sin to death. He follows a Puritan pattern of
self11introspection and his journals are form of spiritual
confession.nbspMichael McMullen has transcribed the original
manuscripts and has added many helpful annotations and
footnotes. Scripture passages, book titles, names of people
and events are clarified. These annotations will assist the
reader to better understand the context and value of the
journals. This work gives an invaluable insight into the life and
motivations of William Wilberforce. There is much to be
gleaned from his example in life and culture today.
