Amazing Grace by Eric Metaxas

Devoted Record alum and all-around nice guy, Eric Metaxas '82, has a new book coming out. It's called Amazing Grace, and it's a biography of William Wilberforce, the British abolitionist.

Eric writes:
...[T]his biography is the official tie-in book for the feature film Amazing Grace, which comes to theaters on Feb. 23rd, the bicentennial of the historic day on which Wilberforce’s dream of abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire was at last realized. If you haven’t seen a trailer for the film yet, go here...If you are interested in buying the book, please do it through my website today or tomorrow if possible, because it’s very important to show early interest.

Eric's gonna be on "Talk of the Nation" on February 22nd, and the 700 Club the 23rd (nobody bridges America's cultural divide like Old Owl). Other media appearances will be announced on his website, www.ericmetaxas.com. I'll see if I can't track Eric down to talk about the book and his days on The Record.
