Charles W. Colson

    16 ottobre 1931 – 21 aprile 2012

    Charles W. Colson, un tempo influente consigliere del presidente Nixon, subì una profonda trasformazione. La sua condanna in seguito allo scandalo Watergate lo portò in prigione, dove scoprì una profonda fede spirituale. Dopo il suo rilascio, fondò la Prison Fellowship Ministries, che divenne la più grande organizzazione al mondo per detenuti, ex detenuti e le loro famiglie. Gli scritti e i commenti radiofonici di Colson miravano a condividere una prospettiva cristiana su temi contemporanei e a ispirare gli altri verso la fede e lo scopo.

Colson addresses seekers—people looking for the truth. He shows through stories that the truth is knowable and that the truly good life is one that lives within the truth. Through the book, readers get to understand their own stories and find answers to their own search for meaning, purpose, and truth.

      The Faith
    • In his magnificent classic, Chuck Colson shakes the church from its complacency with a penetrating look at the cost of being Christian.For those who have wondered whether there isn't more to Christianity than what they have known---and for those who have never considered the question---Loving God points the way to faith's cutting edge. Here is a compelling, probing look at the cost of discipleship and the meaning of the first and greatest commandment---one that will strum a deeper, truer chord within even as it strips away the trappings of shallow, cultural Christianity.'Looking for the complete volume on Christian living? This is it. And the title sums it up. If you desire life deep, rich, and meaningful, then it is simply Loving God.'Joni Eareckson TadaPresident, Joni and Friends

    • In the new foreword Colson briefly describes the day he sat in a prison cell and watched on TV as Richard Nixon resigned as President of the United States. That day he began jotting down notes of the event that had brought about the fall of a President and the rebirth of his "hatchet man". From these notes Born Again had its own birth.
