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 ...

Importance of looking out for others.
One of the best things that a reader takes from this book is the importance of a company's core values. Not only is having core values important, but sticking to these valuse at all cost. Too often in business people are always looking out for number one, Dallen realized early on that when you look out for others you will win in the end. One of the best examples he relays is when he took over the ...

Good motivational text everybody/Christian needs to hear!
I've always enjoyed Chuck Colson's writings. The style is easy to read and clear, like you would be having a conversation with the author.

This book will open the eyes of anyone who is longing for the answer of ...

Couldn't put it down.

The Body/Study Guide
T. M. Moore, Charles Colson, ...

W Pub Group, 1992

Provacative and insightful, The Body inspires us to rise above a stunted "Jesus and me" faith to a nobler view of somehting bigger and grander than ourselves. This book will provoke discussion and debate and may well change your view of church life. With the aid of this companion guide for group and individual study--it just might be God's tool to challenge the Body of Christ to be the glorious, holy vision for which He created it.
