His speeches were amazing! Great idea to make a book about them

[Ian Minielly · Rating 3 out of 5]

I gave Colson another chance. This compilation of essays has some good nuggets. I love how he never quit. Colson was publicly humiliated and he showed true grit. He did not throw anyone under the bus, he took his prison time, even though it was hogwash and he came out the other side smelling like a rose.

God can redeem anyone and Colson's life in my opinion was better after becoming a "criminal" because of God's impact in his life.

Everything I have read by Colson is excellent. He is one of the leading Christian thinkers and communicators of the 20th century. The only reason for 4 stars is most of the speeches were given around the same period of time and a few of his stories repeated. Otherwise, excellent!

This book could have been easily describing today's society and the events that we as a country are experiencing. It's a must read!

[James Allred · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book is a little dated at this point. I’m not sure that I felt it super helpful. I’d love a modern version with thoughts on the world today (trump, social media, AI, etc).

[Jacob Aitken · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book contains a contradiction that appears in his later books. Colson identifies himself as a Calvinist in this book, yet in his book on God and Government, in the section critiquing theonomy, Colson says he has always championed theidea of "free will."

Well written apologetics
