Reviews

[Phil Prince · Rating 4 out of 5]

I learned about Colson and his life before during and after Watergate. Very informative and encouraging to learn how his faith changed him.

Many may have read Chuck Colson's 'Born Again' & 'Life Sentence',
both of which are worth reading -
here we find out more about his life leading up to Watergate,
