A Practical View of Christianity (Hendrickson Christian Classics)

William Wilberforce

Intelligent and Well-Reasoned
Even though I am not at all a fundamentalist and usually stay clear of books that take a more "evangelical" stance, at the advice of a friend I decided to read this book, and I am glad that I did. Wilberforce obviously spent a great deal of time deciding what to say, and in finding examples to support his arguments, which are from biblical, literary and real-life sources. One of the most ...

Fantastic read
A great resource for every Christian and person who truly desires to understand the conflict between our culture and the Christian faith. Those who are not of the Christian faith might have a problem with Chuck's writings. After all, Biblically speaking darkness always hates it when you shine some light into it. But I do believe that even the most skeptical can gain some positive insight, some ...

Searching beyond Google for Truth
Rings a bell, lights a bulb and deep down inside heart of hearts you know what colson shares is the truth. The spins stops here. I am devouring all of the bibliographic books and movies.

A convicting work
I came upon Charles Colson's book The Body by accident. I have never considered myself much of a theologian, but I was a person who was content with my Christianity. After reading this amazing book, I have seen the true purpose of Christianity in the world, and I know just how poor of an example of Jesus I actually am. This book will open the eyes of anyone who is longing for the answer of ...

Clarity
Colson takes the psycho-babble of the so called fair minded critics of religion and shreds it. The Faith: Given Once, For All, is a clear statement of Christianity and how it is attacked.

Truly a valuable resource to understand the days we live in
This is an excellent book. Chuck Colson and Nancy Pearcey have done an outstanding job of equipping the reader with a clear understanding of how important the Christian worldview is and how to fight against worldviews that oppose biblical Christianity. Don't be discouraged by some of the heavy reading early in the book when the authors are explaining scientific terms and theories. Press on, ...

Vintage Colson - Makes You Think and Not Just Feel!
Like Colson's other books, Kingdoms in Conflict challenges you to think deeply about what and why you believe. The title focuses on the precarious balance Christians experience between heavy involvement and no involvement in politics. Colson's thesis seems to be that Christians need to maintain a balance - being in the world while not being of the world and Christians must be a light to the ...

Could anything good come of Watergate?
It's been 30 years since the events of Watergate started making history. A whole generation has grown up largely unaware, I suspect, of the significance of those events. I've followed Chuck Colson's work and writing almost since the beginning of Prison Fellowship and have developed a tremendous respect for the man. But only recently have I bothered to go back and read this book which tells how ...

Loving God
This is a wonderful book whether you are Christian or not. It really depicts what Loving God really is. This book has helped me make my decision for Christ. There are many stories inside that really depicts the foundations for loving God. Chuck Colson has incorporated many wonderful testimonies that truly depicts how wonderful this God is.
Religious Affections: A Christian's Character Before God
4 reviews
Jonathan Edwards
, Charles W. Colson
Regent College Publishing
, 2003
Defines the term "spiritual classic"
Houston's abridgement and editing have led to this one effect among others: Reading the book itself becomes a spiritual experience. We become examined, humbled, then excited and inspired. These are the questions Edwards' explores: What are the roles of the affections (i.e., emotions) for a Christian? How do we know they are genuinely from God's grace? In answering this he points to the ...

Intellectual and spiritual ammunition
Charles Colson is always worth listening too. And many millions do, with his Breakpoint radio series. The essays here come from this program, and comprise some of the best of Colson's Christian commentary on the issues of the day. Like the companion volume, Lies That Go Unchallenged in Popular Culture, these essays can be read in a few short hours, but they reflect a lifetime of learning, wisdom ...

Gives clarifications
In this well-written book W.Dembski answers many of the toughest questions that are often asked about Intelligent Design. He points out that ID is not based on a religious or theological position, but is based on the scientific process of studying the evidence, no matter where it leads. He clarifies what ID is, and what it is not. He makes the important distinction between detecting design and ...

Great stories about how God works!
It's always hard to decide who is more famous, Steve Smallman, Sr, or Steve Smallman, Jr. . . . having said that, this book is a tremendous set of stories and studies about how God mysteriously moves in human lives to draw people to Himself. It shows, through winsome narratives, how God gently works in the inner places of human hearts, in ways that are visible only to Him. This spiritual ...

Reflections on a Brave New World
The title of this collection of essays is both a good summary of the book and an important warning as to where we are headed as a society. Certainly the 21st century will be known as the century of biotechnology. Whether genetic engineering, designer babies, human cloning, stem cell research or nanotechnology, the advances in this field will continue apace. But so too will the ethical concerns. ...

Looking for a book to grow and learn about truth?
I bought this book as a result of reading The Good Life by Chuck Colson. Can you imagine that the Lord chose Chuck (He predestined Chuck) to become one of his greatest witnesses to the truth based on the history and circumstances from which Chuck arrived? I am still growing in Christ but I am truly drawn to what the Bible states as truth and Chuck's alignment with the truth. He brings very ...

Typical Colson Brilliance
Like his other book, How Now Shall We Live?, Colson argues brilliantly and convicingly for a Christian worldview. This book is not perfect and I have my disagreements with him on several issues, which I will voice later, but this was extremely edifying to the saints. He has divided the book into three parts: What is the Church? The Church against the World. The Church in the world. ...
Idols for Destruction: The Conflict of Christian Faith and American Culture
4 reviews
Herbert Schlossberg
Crossway Books
, 1993
One of Chip's Top Ten (wordsntone.com)
A bit heady, but worth it. Schlossberg writes as a Christian and systematically goes through the 20th century influences on Western thought and compares them with a traditional Judeo-Christian worldview. This is a thinking book-and will cause you to think past your "in the box" notions about our faith. As the author quotes, "He who marries the spirit of an age, soon finds himself a widower."
