Synopsis

Live with a bold and loving faith in the public squareChuck Colson’s life reveals that there is no division between truth and love, between embracing biblical guidance and loving one’s neighbor. The Colson Way uses Colson’s legacy and wisdom to show Christians a way of living a public faith with conviction and generosity toward all. “A praiseworthy intellectual achievement and a gift to the Christian community.”—Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University “Required reading for any Christian seeking to engage in the public square.”—Frank Wolf, Senior Distinguished Fellow, 21st Century Wilberforce initiative “I was privileged to know and work with Chuck Colson in several respects. He was a man of character and conviction who understood that believers find themselves in ‘two cities,’ as Augustine wrote. As a member of the city of God, I have dedicated my life to strengthening the city of man. I am so thankful to see Owen Strachan’s The Colson Way celebrate this kind of vision. I commend it highly and urge pastors and churches to buy this book—and to share this vision with their people."—Mike Huckabee “An honest, enjoyable, and eye-opening look at one of the most significant Christian leaders of the twentieth century.”—Sean McDowell, Ph.D., author of The Fate of the Apostle

An Excellent Account of the Life of Chuck Colson Strachan paints the picture of a man who was sold out to the gospel that saved him from himself and dedicated to proclaiming it to the broken world that he knew all too well. He uses the accomplishments of this hero of the faith to stir evangelicals to......more

Goodreads review by David on July 27, 2015

Gospel-spreading, Jesus-loving, and worldview-shaping. These short phrases describe a special man. This man was bold, unafraid, and merciful. He was filled with compassion for people and longed to see social justice in America and around the globe. These are only a few brief descriptions of the form......more

Goodreads review by Diane on March 11, 2021

The author, Owen Strachan, takes specifics from Colson’s life and writings to use as examples, but also uses the generalities of concepts that Colson wrote about, spoke about, and lived by to continue to teach us the same principles. I could have underlined the whole book. Chuck Colson had an articu......more

Goodreads review by Clara on October 27, 2017

This was an exceptional biography. The author accurately captured Colson without slavish flattery. "At the center of the church's witness is the reality of conversion." That was the focus of Colson's life after he came to know the Lord. Colson always remained the hard driving, brilliant intellectual......more
