Publisher Description
In 1974 Charles W. Colson pleaded guilty to Watergate-related offenses and, after a tumultuous investigation, served seven months in prison. In his search for meaning and purpose in the face of the Watergate scandal, Colson penned Born Again. This unforgettable memoir shows a man who, seeking fulfillment in success and power, found it, paradoxically, in national disgrace and prison. In more than three decades since its initial publication, Born Again has brought hope and encouragement to millions. This remarkable story of new life continues to influence lives around the world. This expanded edition includes a brand-new introduction and a new epilogue by Colson, recounting the writing of his bestselling book and detailing some of the ways his background and ministry have brought hope and encouragement to so many.

"Great story of redemption. Colson goes from being a political hachet man to one of the most influential voices of Christianity. I highly recommend this book. For people who have struggled with their faith, they will likely recognize themselves. For those who have never had serious struggles, it may help you empathize more with those of us who have."

" Biography of his life. He was part of the Nixon administration that went to jail for Watergate. It was in prison that he found God and became the founder of Prison Fellowship. A great read! "

" i admire colson's work with prisoners in founding prison fellowship and i'm glad Jesus turned him around, but he's a stick in the mud 5 point calvinist old curmudgeon who complains about contemporary music, men wearing shorts, etc "

" This is a great book, especially if you've lived through Watergate and the turbulant '70s. If you're looking for something that would give you insight into that era, I suggest you read this book. What's amazing is that the turbulance of the '70s and the revival that took place in the Jesus Movement, mirrors today's turbulance and impending revival. "

" I recently remembered that I read this book in 2001 after the Billy Graham Crusade in Fresno. I'm sad that I don't remember more of it, I might re-read it at some point. I do remember enjoying the conversion story of Mr. Colson and I found his journey through prison life intriguing. "
