Great book, as a general read but especially for those interested in the merging of politics with religion. Colson writes in a free-flowing and easy to read fashion, mixing in a good variety of personal stories and experiences, historical stories and references, and modern day theories and realities regarding his topic(s) of choice. This takes the monotony out of what might otherwise could have been considered a "boring" topic. Colson's main emphasis, outlined from the very beginnin

Charles Colson has done a good job of discussing both the kingdom of god and the kingdoms of this world. He is peculiarly fitted for this job and he has done an excellent job in presenting it.

This is an interesting interpretation and thesis of the kigdoms, one that would be well read by Christians.

Interesting and provocative. Good read only for the explaination of the role, and failure, of the church in Nazi Germany, but there is much more here. Food for thought on the subject of how too much coziness between the church and state corrupts the church, and hinders it from doi More...

Really meaty book that took me more than 4 months to get through, but interesting insights nonetheless about the balance and different responsibilities of the church and the state. At times it was a little wordy and bordered on being an advertisement for Chuck Colson's prison ministry (which I admire, don't get me wrong, but...), but on the whole, I really learned a lot and felt that he had some very wise and concrete examples to back up his opinion. I felt he was very fair and balanced, while

This book is part propaganda, part scare-tactic, for right-wing conservatism. While I enjoyed Colson's earlier books, this book (and others) are pretty much party-line with the Religious Right. If you've enjoyed this book, you'll also most likely enjoy the works of Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter.
