52 Books Challenge

After reading "In Search of Deep Throat" a few weeks ago I was compelled to read "Born Again" by Charles Colson. Chuck Colson held the position of Special Council to the President during the Nixon administration. This book is his personal testimony of how his life, once full of power and success in the world's view, became full of potential and  true success when he made Jesus Christ the Lord of his life. Colson shares truthful details of the man he once was and heartfelt stories of the man he became through Christ's mercy and grace. The book reminded me to pray, fervently, for those who are serving in our government. Sometimes those who seem the least likely to turn their hearts to Jesus, like Colson, with one touch from the King, becomes our brother or sister in Christ.  This was a wonderful book and I recommend it highly for homeschool students studying "Watergate".
