He was Nixon’s hatchet man. A jailed felon. And now, one of
the most significant Christian leaders of our time. Here is his
life story.
Charles Colson has become one of the most revered leaders of our
time. His ministry outreach, Prison Fellowship, has swelled to
40,000 volunteers working in 100 countries. His Angel Tree
Christmas program provides presents to more than half a million
children of prison inmates every year. His daily radio broadcast,
BreakPoint, airs daily on more than 1,000 radio outlets across the
country. And his twenty books have sold more than five million
copies in the U.S.
But God had to work some mighty miracles to bring this unusual
servant to this prominent place of service. After all, Colson was
known as President Nixon’s “hatchet man.” His involvement in the
Watergate conspiracy led him to prison–and then to a life-changing
encounter with God.
Now, noted author Jonathan Aitken has written the first biography
that compellingly presents a first-rate understanding of the
political, historical, and spiritual journeys of Charles W. Colson…
a life redeemed.
