About this listen

John Newton, Charles Simeon, and William Wilberforce suffered lifelong opposition and endured for the causes of gospel truth, missionary zeal, and political justice. They found, in solid doctrine and humble joy, the tough roots for habitual tenderness in response to their adversaries - without doctrinal or moral flinching. They are examples of remarkable grace.

In the third book of the Swans Are Not Silent series, best-selling author John Piper looks at the lives of these three great men and focuses on how they not only endured great opposition but did so with joy and without bitterness. Their lives exemplify how to set a pace and finish the race before us, encouraging every heart that it is possible to jump the hurdles in our paths.

Excellent topic, and I appreciate the research the writer put into this worthy topic. The lives of these pioneering minds are something that should not be overlooked. Its unfortunate that the writer starts out trying to sway the reader towards his view of Christianity, rather than leave the stories of these men make the case. One is left with the feeling that the presentation is a bit biased and possibly not accurate, which detracts from the experience. The assumption that 18th century Britain was much more corrupt than the enlightened 19 century is not at all backed up by history, as wars, famine, entitlement and indentured servitude replaced slavery, greed and indifference. Overall the lives of these great men stand against this dark shadow, even if they had flaws.

Could have been much better. Its Biased
