2000 Gold Medallion Award winner!
Christianity is more than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is also a worldview that not only answers life's basic questions―Where did we come from, and who are we? What has gone wrong with the world? What can we do to fix it?―but also shows us how we should live as a result of those answers. How Now Shall We Live? gives Christians the understanding, the confidence, and the tools to confront the world's bankrupt worldviews and to restore and redeem every aspect of contemporary culture: family, education, ethics, work, law, politics, science, art, music. This book will change every Christian who reads it. It will change the church in the new millennium.

Editorial Reviews

Review

""How Now Shall We Life? is truly inspiring for those who want to restore to our culture the values that made America great."

From the Inside Flap

Charles Colson is a popular speaker, radio commentator, former presidential aide to Richard Nixon, and founder of the international Prison Fellowship Ministries. He has also written several books, including "Born Again, Loving God, Kingdoms in Conflict, " and "The Body, " which have shaped Christian thinking. In 1993 Colson was awarded the prestigious Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, given for extraordinary leadership and originality in advancing humanity's understanding of God.

Nancy R. Pearcey has served as the policy director of the Wilberforce Forum, the executive editor of "BreakPoint, " and the managing editor of "Origins and Designs." She is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute and the Francis A. Schaeffer Scholar at the World Journalism Institute. Pearcey coauthored "The Soul of Science" with Charles Thaxton.

Incredible Exposition of the Biblical Worldview

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

Colson weaves together a vast explanation of the biblical worldview explained by the four word plotline of the scriptural narrative: Creation, Fall, Redemption, Restoration. But far from being academic & monotonous, the exposition is strengthened by true stories of Christians seeking to be agents of restoration in their communities & cultures. This book is an essential for Christians seeking to grow in their faith.

I recommend you at least read Part I - Worldview: Why it matters. Sadly too many people have a secular/materalist worldview. Get informed.

A Great Worldview Primer for Discipleship

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2008

Verified Purchase

As my title suggests, Colson's book would be a great worldview primer for discipleship purposes. In a day and age where people believe that creation is an accident and God is a non-issue, we have to begin by demonstrating that it is more logical to look to a Creator than to presume that all of creation is a coincidence, what Colson called pre-evangelism.

To take it a step further, many people in the church don't even have a Biblical worldview. This book equips you to begin spiritual formation of one's worldview -- and will help alter your own as well.

Having Nancy Pearcey on board for this book is a God-send. Colson's past work has had a tendency to be rather dry and laborious. Pearcey's contribution is a noticeable difference as the book flows and reads very well. Every section is broken up into smaller sections that are typically no more than a few pages, which makes it easy to set goals and get through this book -- don't let it's size discourage you!

While I sometimes felt Colson was far too staunchly evangelical, I'm glad I read it and recommend it for anyone struggling to define or help others realize a proper Christian worldview.

I'm an avid reader. Came across this book recommendation when researching on my thesis. Was recommended by Gabe Lyons. He said he couldn't put this 600 page book down on his vacation. I find myself doing the same during work. It's that good. Highly recommended.

I used this book in a men's study. It is wonderful. Read it! Answer the three questions: How did we get here? What went wrong? How can we fix it? Build your worldview. I also recommend you get the study guide. Study it, highlight it, mark it up. Own it! Every person who professes a relationship with Jesus should read this book.

How Now Shall We Live?

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

Charles Colson discusses the most critical issues of life and explains why people have so many problems that could have been avoided. Charles Colson discusses what should be important in life. Great book. The book is a little lengthly, however, it is all very interesting. The book provides many examples to help illustrate the point he is making. I give it 5 stars. I would recommend this book to anyone who is seeking a more fulfilling, more focused, more stress free life. I believe this book could change someone's life for the better. If one follows this book, they will undoubtedly live a more fulfilling life. I strongly recommend this book.

Major opus

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

I now know Chuck Colson. I love the man though he has passed on. I don't agree with 100% of what he wrote either as the state of things or our action they direct. But his stories and passion for godliness, his understanding (rare) of the expansive application of faith in Christ and vast research create a book well worth the read and the heed. Very important work.

An absolutely brilliant tome written by one of the latter 20th Century's most meaningful and prolific authors. His insights into the moral morass of culture is a sober rallying call to step in and step up.
