Amazing Grace in the Life of William Wilberforce
by John Piper
Download book | Wilberforce wikipedia bio
Note: The display and/or download of this book is for personal use only and may not be distributed, duplicated, or used for any commercial purpose.
William Wilberforce is best known for his successful and hard-working effort in abolishing the slave trade in Great Britain. At seventy pages this book does not attempt to provide a complete biography of William Wilberforce, rather it focuses on his spiritual and Christian life. As with most of John Piper’s books it is very well written and it helps put the Christian driving force to William Wilberforce’s life to the fore, which many biographies fail to do.
To get the free pdf download simply go to the Desiring God website at this link and then select the ‘Read this book online (PDF)’ link. You can also read or listen to John Piper’s biographical message on Wilberforce, or watch John Piper talk about the new book.
The Desiring God website says:
In this concise volume, John Piper tells the story of Wilberforce’s transformation from an unbelieving young politician into a radically God-centered Christian and how his deep spirituality helped to change the moral outlook of a nation.

This month’s free audiobook from Christian Audio is Charles Sheldon’s In His Steps. After this month the link on this post will change to a new audiobook so be quick if you want this one.
Charles Sheldon (1857-1946) was an American minister who is best known for his work with the Social Gospel movement. In His Steps is a novel, and is more focused on the moral choices we make, rather than personal salvation.
WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) tied in with In His Steps back in the 90s, based on the fact this was the thrust of the novel In His Steps
Christian Audio provides the following comment:
The real challenge of the question, “What would Jesus do?” is not the initial fervor it evokes but the sustained devotion it can produce.
You can also get a free text and mp3 of In His Stpes at Christian Classics Ethereal Library.

Dave Bish at The Blue Fish recently recommended a free pdf that Mark Driscoll had made available on his study of Genesis. I’ve not read all of the book but based on everything I’ve read or heard of Mark Driscoll it will be theologically strong and personally challenging. Some people dislike Mark’s style as he can sometimes go further than most with his language, which makes another post by Dave Bish about the upcoming Desiring God conference interesting too. Mark Driscoll has been asked to talk about harsh and cutting language and whether it is biblical. The two YouTube clips below show both his and John Piper’s (who invited Mark to speak) views. If you are put off by Mark’s sometimes strong language listen to the John Piper clip.
The book on Genesis is very well produced and you can print it off at home. You can also listen to the sermons that were preached at Mars Hill alongside the book at the Mars Hill Church website.

Rhema Literature Distributors
main website
Rhema Literature Distributors are a superb group of Christians with the aim of distributing high quality Christian literature. All of the books are distributed free, and they are available in over forty countries and ten languages.
There is not a long list of titles available, but a selection of great quality books that clearly set out key parts of Christian theology. The writing is so rich that you will probably want to spend time thinking over and praying into what you have read. Even as a long term Christian these books can remind you of how amazing God is and how fortunate we are. But I feel these books really come into their own for new Christians or those looking in to Christianity.
To receive the books you sign up at the Rhema website and then confirm via email you still want them. I received the copies I ordered just a couple of days after requesting them. The books are sent in three batches (you order each after you finish the other) with the first set including The Gospel of John (not in all languages/countries) and Volume One of the Basic Elements of the Christian Life by Witness Lee and Watchman Nee. If you don’t know who they are, read Watchman Nee’s autobiography. This is a man of God that has lived an amazing life that brings Glory to Jesus. The Gospel of John is often a book non-Christians are told to read first in the bible, and this version comes with comprehensive notes to help anyone new to bible reading understand the contexts and so on.
The following books are sent if you order more:
Set 2 of books
- Basic Elements of the Christian Life, Volume 2 by Watchman Nee and Witness Lee
- The All-Inclusive Christ by Witness Lee
- The Economy of God by Witness Lee
Set 3 of books
- Basic Elements of the Christian Life, Volume 3 by Watchman Nee and Witness Lee
- The Knowledge of Life by Witness Lee
- The Glorious Church by Watchman Nee
If you are interested in ordering visit the Rhema website to see if they deliver to your country. Even if your country is not on the list go to the Other option at the bottom as they will potentially deliver to any country by reviewing each application on a case by case basis. If they are unable they try where possible to provide resources through affiliate distributors or online copies.
It is great to see the gospel being spread this way. If you don’t want the books (or even you do!) then prayer or donations are gratefully received by them. I’ve just preached on storing treasures in heaven and this a perfect way to do it!
Here is the blurb from the back cover of Volume 1 of the Basic Elements of Christian Life:
“The Christian life is full of significance and meaning, yet many people do not understand the basic elements of this life as presented in God’s Word, the Bible. In Basic Elements of the Christian Life, Volume One, by Watchman Nee and Witness Lee, the Christian life is introduced and described. God’s plan of salvation is presented in the first chapter on the mystery of human life. The following chapters detail several basic experiences for a Christian. The final chapter presents the ultimate key to a believer’s Christian life - the experience of Christ in the human spirit. For those seeking God and for believers who desire to grow in Christ, these messages will establish a firm foundation for a rich and meaningful Christian life.”

Another Classic book recommended by Christian Classics Ethereal Library is Tertullian’s book called ‘On Prayer’. This follows on from Origen’s book on prayer for a series of classic prayer books.
As with Origen, Tertullian was an early Church leader (155 - 222). Tertullian’s life was full of claims of heresy within the Church and counter claims of heresy in life. He is perhaps best known as being the author that first used the term Trinity to explain the Godhead.
Tertullian believed that prayer replaces temple sacrifices. He argued that individual petitions should be added to the Lord’s prayer - not that Jesus intended us to continually recite it word for word. Tertulian’s model for prayer also invariable focused on spoken prayer, and prayer together. This is linked to his view that prayer was basically worship.
Here is an extract from the beginning of the book”
The Spirit of God, and the Word of God, and the Reason of God—Word of Reason, and Reason and Spirit of Word—Jesus Christ our Lord, namely, who is both the one and the other, -has determined for us, the disciples of the New Testament, a new form of prayer; for in this particular also it was needful that new wine should be laid up in new skins, and a new breadth be sewn to a new garment. Besides, whatever had been in bygone days, has either been quite changed, as circumcision; or else supplemented, as the rest of the Law; or else fulfilled, as Prophecy; or else perfected, as faith itself. For the new grace of God has renewed all things from carnal unto spiritual, by superinducing the Gospel, the obliterator of the whole ancient bygone system; in which our Lord Jesus Christ has been approved as the Spirit of God, and the Word of God, and the Reason of God: the Spirit, by which He was mighty; the Word, by which He taught; the Reason, by which He came. So the prayer composed by Christ has been composed of three parts. In speech, by which prayer is enunciated, in spirit, by which alone it prevails, even John had taught his disciples to pray, but all John’s doings were laid as groundwork for Christ, until, when “He had increased”—just as the same John used to fore-announce “that it was needful” that “He should increase and himself decrease— the whole work of the forerunner passed over, together with his spirit itself, unto the Lord. Therefore, after what form of words John taught to pray is not extant, because earthly things have given place to heavenly. “He who is from the earth,” says John, “speaketh earthly things; and He who is here from the heavens speaketh those things which He hath seen.

I’m sure anyone involved in youth ministry will know the dilemma of trying to come up with new games each week! This is where Youth Games comes in handy with a selection of games specifically for this purpose. The explanations for the games are very clear and you can also rate the games or leave comments.
You can search by several criteria including:
- Age
- Group size
- Space available
- Duration
- Other features (such as low cost, messy and so on)
The ability to search by so many criteria help to make sure you don’t just read through a long list of games that aren’t applicable to your needs. There is also the opportunity to add new games to their website, so hopefully more and more games will be added over the coming years.
All in all this website does what it aims to do really well, and as more games get added it will get better and better.
This website was submitted for review. You can submit your website, or any website you like too…
