Summary: Keep On Hand For Future Reference
Review: This book is divided into three major parts, the first part being the most powerful, in my opinion. Mr. Colson does an excellent job as he thoroughly explains evolutionism and creationism, why the theories exist, and why creationism is the only theory that is actually truth. Colson includes and excellent story about a father and his troubled daughter whom he raised in a Christian family and seems to be losing her faith in the church. Very convincingly, this story is used to show how a child being raised in today's society can live in a Christian family but be totally turned off to Christian values just because of public education's belief system mixed with a plethora of outside negative societal influences. I would recommend keeping this book for future reference just for part one alone! If you ever need to defend Christianity, this is an excellent source. Virtually all subjects are talked about such as crime, sex, drugs, music, and art. Though the book is long, it is very intelligent and worth your time. I wish that I could convince many others whom I know to read this!

Summary: Awesome perspective
Review: This is a very non-preachy way of explaining why Christianity makes sense in light of so many other choices. This is a very clear and easy to read book that isn't dumbed down, so the intellectually studied and the casual reader will both find it time well spent.Simply put, this book explains how the most natural thing we can do is live a Christian way of life. Yeah God for Chuck Colson!

Summary: Truly a valuable resource to understand the days we live in
Review: 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, and believe me, you will discover a treasure house of great reading material. I'm glad there is a study guide for the book, because so much of the material is worth going back to for study. This book will serve as a reference guide for me for years to come.

Summary: Should Be Required Reading for Christians
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read; to be honest, five stars isn't enough! Colson convincingly demonstrates the importance of worldview and ideas,and how almost all of today's problems stem from incorrect worldviews and bad assumptions. Especially touching are the people who are real life examples of how faith can change our nation, one community, one person at a time. He shows that a healthy nation can only come about only when our basic assumptions about God and our purpose here on earth are correct. Buy it, and put it at the top of your bookshelf.
