Movie Review – Amazing Grace

Just watched Amazing Grace. This is the movie that came out this year about William Wilberforce and his efforts to abolish slavery in Great Britian in the late 18th century. A well made movie, superbly acted, and enjoyable all-around. Also, it’s a movie that you can watch with your children. After watching this movie I will finally get around to reading the book I purchase about this great man.

My favorite lines the movie…

Butler: “Found God have you?”

Wilburforce: “…It seems He found me…do you have any idea how inconvenient that is?”

Also…

“Two things I know. That I am a great sinner, and Jesus Christ is a great Saviour.”

Amen.

That seems to be how it is. It’s an inconvenient thing to believe in God in a post-modern world that says He’s dead.
