Charles W. Colson

    16 octobre 1931 – 21 avril 2012

    Charles W. Colson, autrefois un influent collaborateur du président Nixon, a connu une profonde transformation. Sa condamnation suite à l'affaire Watergate l'a conduit en prison, où il a découvert une profonde foi spirituelle. Après sa libération, il a fondé Prison Fellowship Ministries, qui est devenue la plus grande organisation mondiale d'aide aux prisonniers, aux anciens détenus et à leurs familles. Les écrits et les commentaires radio de Colson visaient à partager une perspective chrétienne sur les problèmes contemporains et à inspirer les autres vers la foi et le but.

      Sharing from his own life, as well as the stories of others, Chuck Colson exposes the counterfeits of the good life and leads readers to the only true source of meaning and purpose, Jesus Christ. But he does that in an unusual way, allowing powerful stories to illustrate how people have lived out their beliefs in ways that either satisfy or leave them empty. 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 Good Life
    • 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

      Loving God
    • 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.

      The Body
    • Ten years ago in top-selling Against the Night, Charles Colson described the ominous shadows that have engulfed politics, family life and education. Today as we face the new millennium, the book is still pertinent, as the darkness seems in many ways to have thickened. Against the Night, however, is not pessimistic. It gives hope that as we regain our vision of living in God's kingdom and being God's people, we will be a light in the darkness. Colson's new foreword relates the teaching of Against the Night to life in the new millennium, and the study guide helps individuals and groups appropriate it.

      Jon Soliday is legal counsel to a powerful politician - also his childhood best friend - who is running for governor. The two have shared political success and undying loyalty. They also share a dark secret from the summer of 1979: a party that resulted in the death of a teenage girl. Soliday was implicated, but through his friend's political connections, escaped legal trouble. Soliday remembers little from that night, but carries an uncertain guilt he can't shake. Now, as the players from 1979 fall prey to an unknown killer, Soliday himself is accused of murder. And as the puzzle unfolds, the people he most suspects are those he has entrusted with his defense - his ambitious defense attorney and his oldest friend. A man's past, both what he remembers and what he fears, has never felt so crushing - and may well leave him without a future.
