Just got back from seeing "Amazing Grace" about the story of William Wilberforce. All I can say is (to quote Danny here) "Woooooowwww!" If you guys want to see a real testimony to the courage that God can give one man to completely change a nation, watch this movie. God used Wilberforce in 18th century England to peacefully end the slave trade and bring about social justice. Also, Albert Finney does a cameo as John Newton with his usual superb acting.
If you like the movie and want to know more about William Wilburforce, check out these links:

A Practical View of Christianity by William Wilberforce
God has called us all to live lives of courage through the faith that He has given us. If you think you are not smart enough or strong enough or talented enough to impact your world for Christ, watch this movie!!!
Oh, and thanks Meredith and Danny for letting me post on your blog. For those who don't know I am Meredith's older brother and Danny's less-talented-but-much-sexier brother-in-law!!! ;)
