Chuck Colson, Prison Fellowship In 1999, Colson and Nancy Pearcey co-authored the groundbreaking book How Now Shall We Live? challenging Christians to understand biblical faith as an entire worldview, a perspective on all of life. In this book, Colson and Pearcey argue that the great battle of the twenty-first century is a struggle between the spiritual and the secular worldviews.
In his most recent book, The Good Life, Colson reflects not only on his life in politics, prison, and ministry, but also on the lives of historical figures and ordinary people, examining what makes life worth living. He concludes that finding what is true and sacrificing ourselves to that truth lies at the heart of living a good life.
