Not only was the story life-altering to my own Christianity, but it changed my political views about prisons and prisoners' rights. I always thought the term "born again" meant you had to be an ultra-freaky Jesus freak, but Colson's story changed my mind. (  ) KLSimpson | Mar 23, 2008 |  A humble account of one's man rise to power, eventual fall, and subsequent renewing of his life. A good insider account of the Nixon White House. An even better self-portrait of Charles Colson. (  ) w_bishop | Nov 3, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
