Charles W. Colson, einst einflussreicher Berater von Präsident Nixon, durchlief eine tiefgreifende Verwandlung. Seine Verurteilung im Zuge von Watergate führte ihn ins Gefängnis, wo er einen tiefen spirituellen Glauben entdeckte. Nach seiner Entlassung gründete er die Prison Fellowship Ministries, die sich zur weltweit größten Organisation für Gefangene, ehemalige Gefangene und ihre Familien entwickelte. Colsons Schriften und Radiokommentare zielten darauf ab, eine christliche Perspektive auf zeitgenössische Themen zu vermitteln und andere zu Glauben und Sinnhaftigkeit zu inspirieren.







Sharing from his own life, as well as the stories of others, Chuck Colson exposes the counterfeits of the good life and leads readers to the only true source of meaning and purpose, Jesus Christ. But he does that in an unusual way, allowing powerful stories to illustrate how people have lived out their beliefs in ways that either satisfy or leave them empty. Colson addresses seekers—people looking for the truth. He shows through stories that the truth is knowable and that the truly good life is one that lives within the truth. Through the book, readers get to understand their own stories and find answers to their own search for meaning, purpose, and truth.
In the new foreword Colson briefly describes the day he sat in a prison cell and watched on TV as Richard Nixon resigned as President of the United States. That day he began jotting down notes of the event that had brought about the fall of a President and the rebirth of his "hatchet man". From these notes Born Again had its own birth.
