Colson takes the psycho-babble of the so called fair minded critics of religion and shreds it. The Faith: Given Once, For All, is a clear statement of Christianity and how it is attacked.

A much recommended book for those who believe God and His Word but have a hard time communicating His truth to others. Also a great gift to those who are earnestly seeking a relationship with Christ but have bought into a little too much of the "talk show guru's" philosophies of life. I can't wait to pass this one on!!!

Colson shows that there is a common "chain of faith" which Christians have produced over the centuries. His stories show common faith characteristics of courage, compassion, sacrifice, passion and tough love. Several of these stories are repeats given in previous books but are appropriate for his theme of the book. The Church today could learn much from this book about appropriate Christian lifestyles today. It is a powerful look at the historic Christian faith in action.

If there is a better analyist of the today's culture and the state of the church amidst declining spiritual morality, I would like to know of him or her. He is the Bill O'Reilly, Bernie Goldberg, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, Ann Coulter,and Dennis Miller of Christian apologetics.He tells it like it is without excuse or compromise, and he says it succinctly, with courage of conviction.
If it sounds like I'm an avid Colson supporter, then you've quessed correctly. He never fails to challenge the intellect and one's worldview. He always backs up his positions with scriptural support and flavors his books with personal experiences and inspiring stories of individuals who have overcome tremendous adversities while finding the Lord and Savior of their lives.
In this current book, Colson traces the successes and failures of the Church( the body of believers in Christ ) and provides sensible remedies facing the difficult issues confronting anyone desirous of sharing the Gospel message to an ever increasing indifferent, secular world. He states unequivocably that " Orthodox Christianity alone among worldviews can provide a stop to the inertia through the renewal of the soul and the regeneration of people that transform cultures. "
This book should be required reading for both new converts and seasoned church leaders. Colson, probably more than anyone else, since he has spoken personally to thousands in and out of prison, knows the dangers being posed by peudo-intellects, philosophers, and therapeutic preachers who deny the very tenets of the Christin faith. Included in the Great Commission given by Jesus to his followers to evangelize the world is the understanding that all who put their trust in Him to " always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope that is in you, " ( I Peter 3:15 )
