The Order of ServiceKedric Webster
I attend a moderately-sized PCA church called Covenant Presbyterian (CPC). Yes, a very common name, I know.

The book is not meant to be very detailed and does not often veer off its subject of Wilberforce to others who played a part in abolishing the slave trade in the British Empire.
