Amazing Grace

This is another true story. It is about a man named William Wilberforce played boy Ioan Gruffudd was amazing. He was a member of Parliament in the 18th century who used "back room" politics to end the slave trade in Britain. He was 21 years old when he was elected to the House of Commons and for over two decades he took on the people against abolishing slavery until he succeeded.

This is a wonderful inspiring movie. This man loved the Lord and wanted to do the Lord's work and found a way through politics to get the Lord's work done. It has inspired me to never give up on what your heart, the Lord has put in you to do. Wilberforce was born to do the exact work he did. I recommend this to anyone. As I sat and watched it last night in our Church, I had to keep grabbing tissues to wipe away tears. The movie brings you through a slave ship and shows you how the Africans were treated from Africa to the America's or Jamaica (the Indies)...I cried with sorrow, with joy, with compassion, with watching this man's life battle to get slavery abolished finally break through. This is heartwrenching and inspiring....I recommend it to anyone who again loves history, true stories and the hand of God in people's lives...

It also has its own website: http://www.amazinggracemovie.com/ enjoy! And yes I will be purchasing this film also......
