Born Again

 

by
Charles Colson

Born Again is the story of a man reaching the very top of the world, only to realize that there is nothing there.

Charles Colson documents the key moments of his life in this powerful autobiography, Born Again. He gives a closer look into his childhood, his rise to fame, and his time as Special Counsel to President Richard Nixon. In this book, you will get to read about the Watergate Scandal from the inside, from the eyes of Colson.

I sincerely wish that every young man or woman who wants to be successful – every young man or woman who wants to do something BIG with their life – will read this book. If that sounds like you, read this book and put yourself in his shoes. Colson walks his readers through the deepest parts of his life and explains his thoughts along the way. He shows you how to make mistakes – sometimes egregious ones – and still embrace forgiveness and grace at the foot of the Cross.  

Don’t get me wrong; for most of his life, Colson scoffed at Christianity. A man of his caliber? He didn’t need God! That’s what he thought. Why did he change his mind? I’ll stop there. I once wrote and presented a speech for several audiences about this book. I wish I could have shared it with so many more. That is why I encourage you to read it. Colson has a powerful story. I hope it encourages you and gives you life, just like it did for me.

About Charles Colson

As special council to President Richard Nixon during his term, Charles (Chuck) Colson garnered a lot of fame. This was particularly true during the Watergate scandal when he was investigated along with the rest of Nixon’s staff for attempting to sabotage the reelection. He was criticized by the Wall Street Journal during the investigation as “Nixon’s Hatchet Man” and was eventually convicted and sentenced to time in prison for conspiring in the Watergate Scandal.

Full ride ROTC scholarship to Brown university, American attorney with a degree from George Washington University, Top of his class in the U.S. Military, and Special Counsel to the President of the United States. This is who Colson WAS.

Yet, even before he was convicted, Colson was changing. He had everything, and yet he admitted in his autobiography, Born Again, he felt like he had nothing. As he left the court after his sentence, he was recorded saying “I have committed my life to Jesus Christ and I can work for him in prison as well as out.”

Colson has since founded Prison Fellowship Ministries, the world’s largest outreach to prisoners, ex-prisoners, crime victims, and their families.

Truly, it could be said that even when he was behind bars, he was more free than he had ever been.
