Later in the fall 2010, we plan to discuss Eric Metaxas' book, Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery
The Chicago Sun-Times called it "a fine and important book." Amazon said:
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.

We have some wonderful cooks. I would love to post more of their recipes.
