Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

On this day, Good Friday, take some time to pray through and consider the the whole hymn. I have enjoyed hearing back from so many which have seen Amazing Grace.  Theresa would like to go while its still in the theatre, looking for an opportunity for a night out together. While going through old mail I found this in an email from Mars Hill Audio, You've Seen the Movie; Now Hear the Bio:

Amazing Grace, the film about the life of William Wilberforce, has drawn attention to this remarkable figure whose Christian convictions resulted in the abolition of the slave trade in Great Britain. MARS HILL AUDIO is distributing a 50-minute sketch on the life of Wilberforce available as an MP3 download. "William Wilberforce: A Man Who Changed His Times" is a reading of an essay by Wilberforce biography John Pollock. Information about ordering a copy of this download is at http://www.marshillaudio.org/catalog/reprints.asp#arp4.

It was 200 years ago last month that the Slave Trade Abolition Act was passed by Parliament. To commemorate that anniversary, the BBC's weekly radio program, In Our Time, dedicated an entire program to conversations about Wilberforce's life and work. Guests include Wilberforce's biographer, the Rt. Hon. William Hague MP; historian Zoe Laidlaw from Royal Holloway, University of London; historian Anne Stott of Birkbeck College, London; and Vanessa Salter, Keeper of Social History at the Wilberforce House Museum. You may listen to the program at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime_20070222.shtml . . . Note:  due to rights issues, the audio is not available on-line, but one can read the comments from those which have heard the program.
