abigailharder's review
I shoud have just dnfed this months ago, yet I kept it on my currently read list hoping that I would one day finish it. This book for the first one-hundred or more pages was so boring. I honestly hate politics and that's all it was. It was very boring and confusing. The second half though did get interesting. It was about Chuck Colson's conversion. I never got to the part where he was put into prison and then later started prison minitsries. But overall this wasn't that bad of a book, I just never got around to finishing it. I hope to one day finish it, so I can accomplish it. But for now, this is as far as I'm getting!

Once I got through all the political mishmash, this was an AMAZING story of one man’s coming to Christianity, and how so many other’s lives were changed through Watergate and what followed.
Sometimes, we lose the thrill! The wonder! The shock that God sent his son to die for us. Sometimes, we don’t stop to think about how he’s working in our life, in everyone’s life. Sometimes, we tend to rely on ourselves for “just that one small thing” when in reality, it’s Jesus we should be going to every single time.
Charles Coulson’s story is one of hatred turning to love, pride turning to selflessness. It’s the story of a newborn Christian, and it’s one that has transformed endless lives, to which I can only say: Praise the Lord!
