Gideon's Torch: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: This 'fictional' story hits way too close to the mark.
Review: Colson and Vaughn, in typical fashion, create a very eloquent story. While this is fiction, the story is very powerful and is sure to make you think about where you stand on a number of issues. Of course, Colson adds many Oval Office insider insights that are indeed interesting, especially in light of the recent events in the Clinton administration. Watch out for a portion of the book early on that seems to drag - it is worth your patience, as you will find the book capturing your attention. A very worthwhile and enriching read from a fine writing team.

Summary: This Book Slams Reality Hard!
Review: I enjoyed this book immensley, but don't read it if you don't like blood, death, or any type of life's depressing consequences. The governments point of view was very interesting, as most officer's are Democrats, and the Pro-Life movement is very strong. Because this book takes place in the future, it makes you wonder if this really could happen....

Summary: this book is grounded in reality,
Review: which is often a scary place to be. Colson is a master at revealing the true side of the world of politics and it shows in this excellently told story of the pro-life movement in america. for anyone who is involved in any 'movement,' this novel gives good advice: two wrongs don't make a right. the book holds your attention throughout, and it is downright scary because something like this could very well happen in the near future. throughout the book, Colson stresses having real morals to back up your views, and not relying solely on the laws of our country - really finding out what our laws were based on, the higher moral law. indirectly, his book is a cry for our nation to turn back to God.
