I first read this book 1986 after receiving it from a friend as part of the library he got tired of lugging around. It was one of those Christian books he was probably required to read while attending the parochial Seattle Pacific University. While useful as an insider's look at events leading up to the Watergate Scandal and, later, prison life, Colson obviously wrote this book as the first of many Christian testamonials. Reading it again after a couple of decades and the death of Nixon, I had aExcellent and heartfelt! I was touched by Colson's honesty and sincerity as he chronicled his years as Richard Nixon's special aide and through the Watergate scandal to his admittance of guilt and imprisonment. Charles Colson was known at one time as Nixon's "Hatchet Man" for getting things done even at the expense of others' reputations. Before reading this book I thought Colson was directly involved in the burglary of Elsberg's psychiatrist's office. As you read this book, you find out that
A great book for anyone seeking either spiritual inspiration or political insight into the Nixon administration. Definitely the most even-handed portrayal of Nixon and the Watergate scandal I've ever seen. Colson sheds a lot of light on the mistakes he made while working as Nixon's "hatchet man," and what it was like to plummet from such dizzying heights of worldly success. Halfway through, the book switches focus to Colson's spiritual journey and his evolution into one of the nation's leading

"Prison turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me," (The Good Life, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc, Wheaton, IL, 2005)p 23 says Chuck Colson in 60 Minutes, after the 20 year anniversary of Watergate. The Wall Street Journal printed a front page report in the 1970s, on Nixons Hatchet Man. Call it What You Will Chuck Colson Handles President's Dirty Work. (Born Again, Chuck Colson, Chosen Books, Old Tappan, New Jersey, 1976, pg57) Born in Boston, joined the military, the
This is an amazing autobiography of how Charles came to know Christ. The beginning is not that interesting if you are not really into politics though. I start to enjoy the book in the middle and was hooked during the end. It is amazing reading how God transformed his life and used him during his time in prison. It is also so good reading about his fellowship with believers and how they loved and encouraged each other. It was also very exciting reading about how Prison Fellowship and Angel tree
Chuck Colson was special counsel to President Richard Nixon and the first member of the Nixon White House to serve prison time in the 1972 Watergate scandal. As Colson was facing arrest, a close friend gave him a copy C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity. Lewis wrote that when you walk through life looking up toward God, you come up against something immeasurably greater than yourself. But a proud man who is walking through life looking down on other people cannot see something, something immeasurably
This is a great book. Mr. Colson tells many details of what it was like to be in the Nixon White House, which is very interesting. He also tells of many miracles (works of the Holy Spirit) throughout his Christian life. The tremendous result of his imprisonment and the creation of Prison Fellowship Ministries could not have been imagined by any human being, but could only be accomplished by the work of the Holy Spirit. The book MERE CHRISTIANITY by CS Lewis was key to Mr. Colson becoming a
