Product Description
Chuck Colson's Classic offers a penetrating and challenging look at the cost and joy of being a Christian.

From the Publisher

It's been over two decades since a ministry was born that would transform the lives of men and women the world deemed hopeless. And it's been over ten years since the ministry's founder, Chuck Colson, shook the evangelical world with one of Christian literature's most powerful and disturbing masterpieces.

Today, having fulfilled all predictions of its ascent to classic status, Loving God is, if anything, more relevant than ever. For those who have wondered whether there isn't more to Christianity than what they've known - and for those who have never considered the question - it points the way to faith's cutting edge. Here is a compelling, probing look at the cost of discipleship and the meaning of the first and greatest commandment - one that will strum a deeper, truer chord within even as it strips the trappings of shallow, self-centered believism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much Better Than Expected, October 25, 2002
By The Rev. Dr. Daniel J. G. G. Block (Medford, Wisconsin United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Loving God (Paperback)
Since the early 1970s, I have not been prone to trust Chuck Colson, or any of his colleagues from the Nixon White House. Nevertheless, Colson: the convicted criminal and reprehensible politician, has given us one of the modern treasures of Christian devotional literature.

Colson dares to say what must be said: that loving God with one's whole heart, and mind, and soul is not an essentially emotional event. Loving God has little to do with the heart. Instead Colson, courageously, declares that loving God is an act of the will. It is nothing less than complete obedience to God's revealed Word.

Colson is intelligent enough to comprehend that such obedience is impossible. Still, he has the courage to uphold it as the model: the goal for all who call themselves by the name of Christ.

In a world flailing in a swamp of competing values and rampant relativism, Colson has the strength to stand for the absolute sovereignty of the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus.

Perhaps, I and those like me, who cannot seem to forget Watergate, need to learn to forgive Colson. More importantly, perhaps we need to learn to listen to him.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping book on what it means to love God., October 1, 2002
By Marc Axelrod (Potter, Wi USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Loving God (Paperback)
Chuck Colson is a great story teller, and he gives many gripping illustrations of what it means to love God in our everyday lives. He then ties it in with relevant Scripture passages. It's a very engaging read, and you won't be disappointed with it.

The big lesson I got from it is that loving God is not just something that we say with our lips. But it's something that we demonstrate with what we do with our time and with our lives. I was especially touched by the story of the woman who shows her love for God by donating her lunch hour every day to leading a prayer and Bible study time at a nearby prison. She has six kids at home. But she felt compelled to do something extra for Jesus each day.

The book is full of examples like this, and it turned out to be very satisfying.
