The Colson way

de Owen Strachan

"During his life, Chuck Colson was the preeminent evangelical in American public life. He dedicated himself to public witness in the mold of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and William Wilberforce, creating and leading efforts such as Prison Fellowship, Angel Tree, BreakPoint, and the Centurions program. He worked tirelessly on behalf of humanity because he believed that all people deserved help to flourish. Colson knew the importance of working practically to advance truth and justice in the public square. An he knew that to be courageous--and to speak and act boldly in line with Scripture--was by definition to be loving. Owen Strachan, a leading young theologian and public intellectual, offers details of Colson's life and service, encouraging us to follow Colson's principles in making a difference in our world"--Jacket.
