Book Description
Houston, we have a problem! Spaceship Earth is in trouble, but most of those traveling first class dont believe there is a problem. And the other passengers are either oblivious, confused, or at odds with one another about what the problem actually is and what, if anything, can be done about it. The dominant species on planet Earth, Homo sapiens, continues to eliminate other species and to gravely, perhaps irreversibly, damage the natural environment. There are also too many humans who prey on others of their own species. There are many concerned individuals and institutions, such as Thomas Piketty, Chrystia Freeland, and Oxfam, who have written about the problem from different perspectives and providing different views, contributing to my observations and insights. What has been conspicuous in its absence is a feasible and desirable solution to the apparently intractable predicament in which the global community finds itself. That is my unique contribution with this book. My solution is comprehensive, conceived for the new millennium, redefining money in a fundamentally new financial system, fostering a collaborative economic doctrine that optimises the production of utility and a truly democratic political system that will provide good governance in the best interest of the peopleat last. I also provide a peaceful, civilised road map for getting there within the laws of the day. My aim is to prevent the destructive revolution that may have already begun. My suggestion is that we begin in the USA. The war on poverty will unite the United States as never before, across all the lines and labels that currently divides it. This war to end all wars will soon extend globally. America will again lead the world, but this time without moral ambiguity, with total moral clarity.

Book Description
Amazing Grace tells the story of the remarkable life of the British abolitionist William Wilberforce (1759-1833). This accessible biography chronicles Wilberforce's extraordinary role as a human rights activist, cultural reformer, and member of Parliament. At the center of this heroic life was a passionate twenty-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. To mark the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the British slave trade, HarperSanFrancisco and Bristol Bay Productions have joined together to commemorate the life of William Wilberforce with the feature-length film Amazing Grace and this companion biography, which provides a fuller account of the amazing life of this great man than can be captured on film. This account of Wilberforce's life will help many become acquainted with an exceptional man who was a hero to Abraham Lincoln and an inspiration to the anti-slavery movement in America.

Book Description
God has set before me two great objects: the abolition of the slave trade and the reformation of manners." These passionate words penned by William Wilberforce in 1787 marked the beginning of his lifelong crusade as a Christian statesman and philanthropist. Under his leadership parliamentary and prison reforms were championed, the Church Missionary Society was founded, the British and Foreign Bible Society was established, and countless charitable efforts were made. For forty years he crusaded against slavery in the face of much opposition, and his entire life was dedicated to the improvement of the lives of his fellow Englishmen. In this engaging biographical look at Wilberforce, David J. Vaughan examines the sterling character of this undeniably noble man. Book jacket.

Book Description
As a young politician, William Wilberforce (1759 - 1833) set out to do two things: rouse professing Christians to understand the nature of true faith, and bring about the end of slavery in England's colonies. Real Christianity challenged the ruling classes of early nineteenth-century England more than any other work. Even today Real Christianity is a tool to soundly teach the tenets of evangelical faith and stir the conscience of all Christians.
