With a foreword by Eric Metaxas, best-selling author of Bonhoeffer and Amazing Grace. The enthralling biography of the woman writer who helped end the slave trade, changed Britain’s upper classes, and taught a nation how to read. The history-changing reforms of Hannah More affected every level of 18th-Century British society through her keen intellect, literary achievements, collaborative spirit, strong Christian principles, and colorful personality. A woman without connections or status, More took the world of British letters by storm when she arrived in London from Bristol, becoming a best-selling author and acclaimed playwright and quickly befriending the author Samuel Johnson, the politician Horace Walpole, and the actor David Garrick. Yet she was also a leader in the Evangelical movement, using her cultural position and her pen to support the growth of education for the poor, the reform of morals and manners, and the abolition of Britain’s slave trade. Fierce Convictions weaves together world and personal history into a stirring story of life that intersected with Wesley and Whitefield’s Great Awakening, the rise and influence of Evangelicalism, and convulsive effects of the French Revolution. A woman of exceptional intellectual gifts and literary talent, Hannah More was above all a person whose faith compelled her both to engage her culture and to transform it.

Fascinating insight into life and faith of 18th century best-selling author, educationalist and abolitionist There has never been anyone quite like Hannah More... Her books were kept in the homes of presidents, and peers of the realm. They were a best-selling phenomenon, and she "the most successful British author of the romantic period,"--more successful, financially, than Sir Walter Scott, and more than Jane Austen. A gifted poet and playwright Hannah More was, by her early 30s, the toast of literary London. Samuel Johnson collaborated with her in writing verse, and David Garrick, one of the greatest Shakespearian actors in theatre history, was her mentor and devoted patron. Hannah, as a member of the Bluestocking circle of the late 1700s, was a pioneering artist and celebrity. Throughout the English-speaking world, she became a household name. In later years, after her passing in 1833, her legacy lived on. C.S. Lewis knew her story, and wrote about it--her good works, born of faith. As a philanthropist and reformer, she was a cherished colleague of William Wilberforce. Their friendship, and endeavours, were famous in their own right. Together, they were abolitionists, and together (with Wilberforce's backing) Hannah More and her sisters created nine schools, where there were none, and educated 1,000 poor students a year, for decades. Her own charities were legion, and supported by her great royalties as a writer. Yet there were broken moments in her life. She overcame tragedy, and debilitating pain. She knew what loss and failure were--and she learned the ways of grace, amid it all. And so, in a word... Hannah More is one of the most fascinating figures in the pages of history: and her faith was a benison for the time in which she lived. Her life was illumined by the sacred flame of Christian belief. It inspired books that speak to us now, with power and eloquence--charting the reasons for hope--lending timeless words it is our privilege to know, and return to. To purchase this book is to discover why.

Excerpt from The Life of Hannah More: With Notices of Her Sisters Induced by the possession of these advan tages, the writer has endeavoured to use them faithfully. That he entertains a very high admiration for the character of Hannah More, he has no where concealed but his object has not been to write a panegyrick, but a fair and accurate record of facts. Should it seem otherwise to any reader, it should be remembered that several of those who knew Mrs. More best, and who had witnessed her conduct under severe trials, attested that they never had seen so near an approach to perfection. Nothing is here mentioned without authority; and though it is by no means asserted that every minute statement is rigidly correct, the writer, not withstanding, hopes that such will be found to be the case. The indication of any error he will gratefully receive, and, should another edition be called for, correction shall be given.
