Book Overview

This is the story of Charles Colson, a former presidential aide who when he was released from prison in 1975, pioneered a ministry to prison inmates and campaigned for prison reform. It is a narrative of danger, conflict and hard choices in which Colson's motives are queried and his faith scorned. Against official suspicion and hostility of some inmates he developed a controversial prison outreach on both sides of the Atlantic. The author also wrote "Born Again", "Loving God", "Who Speaks for God", "Kingdoms in Conflict". This description may be from another edition of this product.

amazing story

I was in high school when President Nixon resigned from office. It was fascinating to learn some behind-the-scenes information about people I remember from news stories in the early '70's. Also, I was inspired by Mr. Colson's story...good things truly do come from the broken pottery pieces. Great book!

Read it after "Born Again"

If you haven't read Chuck Colson's first book, "Born Again", you should read that one before "Life Sentence". This book continues the story begun in Born Again with the events surrounding the beginning of the Prison Fellowship Ministries. The sad truth is that prisons don't rehabilitate those who break the law. More often than not they produce criminals who are more hardened and more of a menace to society upon their release...

Encourageing and Challenging

As was Colsons goal, this book was encouraging and challenging. It makes me want to go and start helping in prisons. It also challenged my faith and helped me to grow.

Inspires and challenges our understanding and faith...

I started reading this book because of my involvement with presenting Success Skills Seminars to inmates and staff in prisons. I never expected this book to be so compelling. Although I knew that Chuck Colson made a great impact with Prison Fellowship, still I didn't know much about Chuck or his work. Even though this book was originally published about 20 years ago, it is timeless. Some day soon, I hope to meet Charles...
