Wow this was an impressive book with so many good examples and stories within. Chuck Colson is a great author with an amazing story He was Involved with Richard Nixion’s Cabinet and was actually put in prison for obstruction of justice. He accepted Christ in the early 70’s and started a prison ministry after he got out of jail.
How now Shall we Live ask the question if the bible is True and Christ died to save us all How now shall we live? What does this all mean? How does it affect my life? His book covers most question that exist in the world between Christianity and secularism. How ministry should look, it covers false teachings like Communism, Evolution, and other philosophies that Christians may struggle to answer. It gives a guide in the modern world of what a Christian’s attitude should be and gives scriptures as well as sound logic and real life examples of how these things work out.
The book explains a lot but it does not really go into extreme detail with anything. Not to say that it does not provide a great start but if you are in a conversation with an atheist friend that swears by evolution there are books that solely address evolution and would have many more answers than this book did. But it gave an excellent apologetics basis for any person that recently accepted Christ and is struggling to answer all the questions the world has as well as attaches stories and real world examples to every question that is asked.
Overall it was a great read it was by no means dry or difficult to read but it was thought provoking in many ways. It gave an excellent apologetic basis for any Christians that are looking for answers to life basic questions from a Christian worldview.
